The BBC is looking for same-sex parents in the U.S. to host two British teens for a week, and to be filmed for a new season of an ongoing show about parenting. The […]

TV Alert: A Family Is A Family Is A Family

From Rosie O’Donnell comes “A Family Is a Family Is a Family,” a great-looking new documentary premiering this Sunday, January 31, at 7 p.m. ET on HBO.

In honor of the 40th season of Sesame Street, which starts tomorrow, I thought I’d rerun this video, which made the rounds earlier this year and is based on a much older episode of the show. Yes, this is exactly what marriage equality proponents want to teach children. The horror. I was two when Sesame
