Thanks to the participants and winners in last week’s Mombian-Bilerico Birthday Blowout. Reader CMB won the two books and CD. Bil at Bilerico says he now has an extra copy of children’s book Choose to Love, however, and will offer it to my second-place winner Erin. Thanks, Bil! I’ll also be running a new contest […]

Bil and his partner Jerame have built their site into one of the most active and diverse LGBT communities online in only a year, all while raising a teenager and two dogs (as
Continuing my coast-to-coast exploration of the family side of Pride, here are a few shots from the Family Garden at San Francisco Pride 2008.

Two days ago, California became the second state to legalize marriage of same-sex couples. Today marks the fourth anniversary of the first legal marriages of same-sex couples in Massachusetts; the 54th anniversary of Brown v.
