It’s turning into a video week around here, but I can’t help but share Victoria’s Secret model Josephine Skriver’s new video about standing up for her family—and how her lesbian mom had put out an ad seeking a gay dad to have a baby together.
Lindsey Steinert grew up with two gay dads in the early 90’s, before that was “cool”—and she’s written and performs in a one-woman off-Broadway show about her experience.
Several adults who grew up with same-sex parents have shared their stories recently—including one of the first to be adopted by two men in the U.S.
(I first reviewed Let’s Get This Straight: The Ultimate Handbook for Youth with LGBTQ Parents several years ago for my newspaper column, but since “Throwback Thursday” is a thing around the Internet, I thought I’d post this again. It’s a great read for tweens, teens, and their parents.)
A Northern Ireland teen, in a “wee political rant,” asks his government why his parents can’t marry. Good question.
Gayby Baby, an Australian documentary from the perspective of children with same-sex parents, will be premiering around the world this April. Watch the trailer here.
Some of the stories I haven’t covered here yet, but which deserve a read. We’ve got research studies, a look at “the new battleground” after marriage equality, progress in Kansas, a couple of pieces by adults with same-sex parents, and much more.
A couple of recent articles look at the perspectives of children with LGBTQ parents—and I’ve pulled together a plethora of further resources.
Go read these two great pieces by two adults raised by two moms: one is a transracial adoptee, who writes about the Charleston shooting, and the other is one of our community’s most persuasive voices, writing about marriage equality.
Go be inspired by photographer Gabriela Herman’s wonderful photo essay of grown children with same-sex parents in today’s New York Times.
