Lena and Stef Return to Television
They graced our screen for five years as we watched them raise five children from tweens into adults. Now, Stef and Lena are back tonight with a guest appearance in spin-off show Good Trouble. Here’s a sneak peek.
LGBTQ Parenting Roundup
Lots of moving family stories in this roundup, including a family living full time in their RV; a couple who induced lactation so they could both nurse; a trans dad and his spouse who started their family with two known donors, also spouses; stories of infertility and miscarriage, and more–including penguins!
Neil Patrick Harris’ Unfortunate Late Night with Seth Meyers Interview
My family and I have been thoroughly enjoying the third and final season of Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, starring gay dad and actor Neil Patrick Harris—so I was thrilled to see Harris was on Late Night with Seth Meyers yesterday talking about both the show and his kids’ cameos in it.
Grown Children of Lesbian Moms Shine in “Good Trouble”
The Fosters, Freeform’s drama about a two-mom couple and their five kids, ended last June—but with the premiere of Good Trouble on January 8, two of those kids, now grown, have their own chance to shine (although the first scene proves that their moms clearly didn’t teach them everything about U-Hauls).
LGBTQ Parenting Year in Review 2018
LGBTQ parents and our children faced significant challenges to equality and inclusion in 2018—but there was still some progress. Here are the highlights of the year, both good and bad.
Might Doc McStuffins Creator’s Netflix Deal Mean More Queer Families on TV?
Award-winning producer and screenwriter Chris Nee (who also happens to be a lesbian mom) has signed a multi-year deal with Netflix to write and produce new series for preschoolers and all ages. Her Disney Junior show Doc McStuffins made headlines last year when it became the first show on the network to feature a two-mom family. Might Nee be bringing more queer families to our screens?
LGBTQ Parenting Roundup
Here’s what’s happening that I haven’t covered in depth elsewhere. Pull up a cup of coffee, tea, or other beverage and read on!
Here’s What’s Missing from Discussion of Bert and Ernie’s Relationship
I’ve been writing about Sesame Street’s need for LGBTQ inclusion for well over a decade, and been a fan since it first aired in 1969, when I was two. I was disappointed, however, by producer Sesame Workshop’s denial this week of a romantic relationship between Bert and Ernie, not only because that would be awesome, but also because they missed an opportunity to highlight the existing (though limited) queer inclusion on the show and to commit to more.
Xfinity Launches Kids & Family Collection with Mombian Recommendations and More
LGBTQ-inclusive kids’ media can be hard to come by. That’s why I’m tremendously excited that Xfinity On Demand has just launched a new Kids & Family collection within its LGBTQ Film & TV collection on Xfinity X1, so Xfinity customers can easily tune in to inclusive content for their kids. I’m also honored that they’re featuring Mombian Recommendations, including films, TV shows, vlogs, music, and more!
