When Nissan USA asked if my spouse and I would like to attend an influencer weekend, I said yes—it’s important for us LGBTQ folks to have a seat at the table (or in the vehicle). Come along on our ride to the Catskills, with my musings on corporate allyship!

Cruising Through Parenthood: 2 Moms, 2 Boats, 19 Years

My spouse Helen and I recently returned from a trip to Iceland with Olivia Travel, a company catering to LGBTQ women. Our previous trip with them was when our son was six months old.

Building Bridges in Disney World

My family and I took a trip to Disney World a few weeks ago (before the hurricane), an end-of-summer hurrah before our son started high school. The rides and entertainment still retain their magic for us—but on this trip, I was also thinking about how Disney both reflects and influences our society, and what that means in the current era for a queer family like ours.

The White House Easter Egg Roll and LGBTQ Families

Many are questioning the Trump administration’s preparation (or lack thereof) for the venerable White House Easter Egg roll, a 139-year-old tradition—and one that has recently been a place of visibility for LGBTQ families, mine included.
