I suspect traffic across the blogosphere will be low today as people lock themselves away to read through Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I thought it would be appropriate, however, to publish a heretofore lost list of charms and spells that came to light only recently when a scholar journeying through King’s Cross Station,
Jodie Foster has long been the celebrity most rumored to be a lesbian but least willing to say so, at least to the world at large. After Ellen reports today, though, that after Foster gave a large sum of money to the Saban Center for Health and Wellness, her sons got to have plaques on
Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World, is shaping up to be the most parenting-centric LGBT show on television, documentaries aside.

To forestall any questions or confusion: I was in no way the inspiration for the character Dana in Logo’s upcoming new series The Happiest Gay Couple in the World, despite the storyline involving Dana and her partner trying to become parents. Curly hair like mine just can’t do a mullet like that. (For that matter,
My son’s new favorite TV show is PBS Kids’ Between the Lions, which teaches early-reading skills through the tales of a pair of lions and their cubs who run a library. It’s pedagogically one of the best educational shows around—though I’ll continue to save the top spot for the venerable Sesame Street. Between the Lions

Here are a few about LGBT families that caught my eye: In the greater New York area, WNET will be airing: Mom’s Apple Pie: The Heart of the Lesbian Mothers’ Custody Movement: This film, narrated by Kate Clinton, was an official selection
