Helen and I share a children’s book about Harvey Milk, though Helen questions my obsession with historical accuracy. We then discuss a must-listen radio piece about transgender children (more details in my post here), and turn to lighter matters with a look at the several parenting storylines on last week’s The L Word, including Max’s […]
Time for something frivolous—an L Word quiz, but with a Mombian twist: {democracy:18}
