Last Thursday, I pointed out that the CBS press release announcing lesbian mom and actor Sara Gilbert’s new talk show simply said she lived “with her family,” whereas for each of the other five co-hosts, it mentioned their husbands by name. Deadline Hollywood now reports that Gilbert told the Television Critics Association (TCA) Press Tour,
Actor and lesbian mom Sara Gilbert (Roseanne, The Big Bang Theory) will be one of six mothers starring in a new daytime talk show on CBS this fall, the network announced.

(The Kids Are All Right opens in select theaters tomorrow, and in wider release soon thereafter. My short review: Go see this film. My longer review, which first appeared in Bay Windows, is below.) I was a skeptic. When I first heard of The Kids Are All Right, a film about a pair of lesbian

While these findings from the National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study are positive, they
Did any of you watch Gary and Tony Have a Baby, the story of two gay men starting a family, last night on CNN? What did you think? There have been a variety of opinions about the show (even leaving aside the far-right nonsense)—but if you haven’t read them yet, I hope you’ll leave a comment
