Preacher’s Sons, a new feature-length documentary by C Reed and Mark Neely, looks set to make a significant contribution to the awareness and understanding of gay families. The film follows the lives of Stillman White and Greg Stewart, partners for over 20 years, and the five “at risk” boys they adopted. When it begins, Greg, […]
The room was dark. “Lumos!” said the witch, and a glowing orb of light illuminated the bookshelves. The woman searched for a few minutes and then cried out in surprise. Behind a well-thumbed, leather-bound volume of Hogwarts: A History and a fraying copy of Parent Hex, was a tome covered in cruelty-free fabric (woven by
I’ve spent much of the past few days reading the U.K. “adult” edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. (“Adult” refers only to a difference in jacket cover, not content.) The photo of author J. K. Rowling on the back of the dust jacket, the same one that’s been used in the past, shows
(Warning: Spoilers below.) In the third episode of Rick and Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World, lesbian couple Dana and Kirsten receive some surprising news: Despite all their efforts to impregnate Kirsten, it is Dana who, through a series of improbable events, is with child.

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. I had some qualms about the first episode, and its use of the tired “wacky lesbian antics in search of sperm” motif, but creator Q. Allan Brocka left a comment
LOGO’s new animated series, Rick & Steve: the Happiest Gay Couple in All the World, is as un-PC, crude, and hilarious as expected from the trailers. Why, oh why, then, did they have to resort to the oldest gag in the “portrayals of LGBT parenting in television” handbook (a slim volume, to be sure, but
The dance music starts early here on the Norwegian Dawn, piped onto the outside decks by 7:00 a.m. I know this because some crazy notion got me up then to go for a run. The beat was motivating—but then I went down to the fitness center where all the gay men working out made even
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,
