Mombian has recently crossed several milestones: more than 6,000 posts, more than 1,500 items in my Database of LGBTQ Family Books, and more than 400 entries submitted to the LGBTQ Parental Names Project!
I’ve redecorated! The Mombian site has a new look, designed to highlight not only my newest posts, but also some of what I hope are the most useful and interesting posts of the past 18+ years, plus various external resources, organized into categories relevant to LGBTQ families today.
I began Mombian 18 years ago today, and as any parent here in the U.S. can tell you, 18 is an age of significance. Here are some thoughts about reaching this milestone.
I’m honored to have been named to GO Magazine’s list of “100 Women We Love, Class of 2022.” To those of you visiting for the first time because of seeing me there, welcome!
I started this blog 17 years ago today as a resource for lesbian moms and other queer parents, and I remain forever grateful to all of you for reading my posts and interacting with both the site and me. A lot has changed in 17 years, however.
The other GLAAD Media Award “Outstanding Blog” nominees and I sat down recently for a conversation hosted by actor, singer, and activist Peppermint (RuPaul’s Drag Race), about how blogging has changed over the years, why we think it still plays an important role in covering and connecting the LGBTQ community, and much more. Watch it here!
