Many of us have had the joy/challenge of homeschooling our kids, at least in part, over the past few months. That’s why “homeschool,” a post from Magdalen Dale at her blog overallmagic, is my pick for a Post of the Week.
Let’s continue the conversation about gender and parental identity with a look at a recent piece by a butch mama about her princess-loving daughter. It also involves Boris Karloff, the actor who famously played Frankenstein’s monster, which seems appropriate given that Halloween is this week.
Here’s a helpful and thought-provoking read to start your week: a piece on how to make children’s books, even when not originally LGBTQ inclusive, more inclusive of queer families and diverse parental names.
This week’s pick is a video from vlogger Kory Mann, an 18-year-old college student living in LA, who introduces us to her two moms (and their adorable dog, Marcus).
I write a lot, as this blog is proof, but my writing is built on a deep and abiding love of reading. How great, then, to find a post by a lesbian mom who shares her thoughts about reading, identity, and LGBTQ-inclusive books.
This week’s pick is from Alithea Howes, who writes about a trip her family took when she was 12, when her father was first transitioning into her identity as a transgender woman.
The daughter of a trans parent (no, not the famous Caitlyn) writes of her journey to acceptance and renewed love in this Post of the Week.
This Post of the Week is a lovely piece by a queer mom about her partner’s gender transition and their family. It’s not a blog post, really, since it was published in the prestigious Georgia Review literary magazine—but the fact that it appears there is itself notable, and it’s definitely worth a read.
This video about two moms-to-be waiting for pregnancy results might be the funniest thing you’ll see all day. Take three minutes to watch.
My Post of the Week pick this time is a poem from a child who has a thing or two to say about unusual friendships.
