I’m very excited to announce the new Mombian YouTube Channel, where I’ve collected and organized over 200 videos about LGBTQ families. There are videos for and by both LGBTQ parents and our kids, so come check it out!
I’m heading off this week to the exceptionally awesome 10th Anniversary BlogHer Conference in San Jose, where I’ll be on a panel about “Mom Blogging: The Next 10 Years.” Will you be at the conference? Drop me a note and let’s meet up!
It’s July 4 week, so I’m taking a few days off to spend with my family. As a parenting blogger, if I can’t do that, I risk jeopardizing the “parenting” part of that title. I hope those of you who likewise have a long weekend get to spend it doing fun things. If you don’t
On this day in 2005, when my son was two, I launched a blog “dedicated to providing relevant, useful, and just plain fun reading for lesbian moms.” Now my son has just graduated from elementary school, and both he and this blog have led me places I wouldn’t have imagined nine years ago. Thanks to all
I’m heading off today to our nation’s capital for the 2014 LGBT Media Journalists Convening in Washington D.C., hosted by the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association and sponsored by the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund. We’ll be networking and discussing the theme of “Honing Our Game” — but we’ll also be having a party on Saturday night, and you’re invited!
I’m heading off this week to the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force’s Creating Change conference in Houston, Texas. I’ve never been there before, so I’m pretty excited — doubly so because the city happens to be run by a lesbian mom, Mayor Annise Parker. If you’ll be there, too, please leave a comment!
A big welcome to any and all of you visiting from the New York magazine site, where Senior Editor Charlotte Cowles interviewed me about this blog and my perspective on being a lesbian mom.
If you’re visiting here for the first time, welcome! I was surprised and delighted to see a reference to Mombian today in a New York Times article about Mary Bonauto, the intrepid lawyer who led the fight for marriage equality here in my home state of Massachusetts. I know traffic is up because of it, so I want to extend a special greeting to new visitors. Here’s a little more about the site and an invitation to the yearly blogging event here in June.
I’m off to the City of Brotherly (and Sisterly) Love this weekend for the 2013 LGBT Media Journalists Convening. The theme of the event is “coalition building,” and we’ll be discussing topics such as aging, immigration, race relations and the labor movement. Amidst the serious stuff, however, will also be some partying, and you’re invited.
