A rousing cheer for hetero ally par excellence, author of the blog Disney Wonder Baby. She “totally support[s] lesbian couples as mothers and here’s why.”

I was directed to this site by a note about it inLesbianFamily.org, a fantastic site parsing and listing scads and scads of lesbo family blogs and more. One of its blog categories is “Supportive Hetero Family Blogs,” of which there are a dozen (& counting). Check ‘em out.

Hell I’m so pro-ally I’m making a little blog category for it (what else? “Go hetero ally go!”). So’s I can arrange all the happy posts referencing hetero allys and look at them in a grouping from time to time, and sigh contentedly about how AMOR VINCIT OMNIA, people.

[Update: The publisher of Babes in Blogland, to which the Disney Wonder Baby gal referred in her post, recently set up an LGBT bloggers category. The site in general is a compendium of bloggers who are making or raising babies.]

    You may also want to check out Atticus Circle (http://www.atticuscircle.org), a new organization for straight allies in support of LGBT rights. I’m not affiliated with them, but wrote about them when they launched in July: http://mombian.com/2006/07/19/atticus-circle-organizes-straight-allies-for-lgbt-rights/

    Thank you, Dana! Per usual, you are a gurgling font of information. If Mombian ever went dark, we’d all have to fly our rainbow flags half-mast, and then start scrambling quick.

    Ayelet, if there were an int’l chapter–and you know during my next fit of procrastination I will search for it–you’d be a charter member. We all miss you all, big time.

    Hey there, I run the site (Babes in Blogland) that DWB was discussing in her entry. I’d like to welcome you to join my blogroll listings — just clue me in to child #1’s birth month and year and your partner’s EDD, if you would. I did a cursory search here on your site but couldn’t find the info (and yes, no doubt it’s RIGHT THERE like on the header or something, but I couldn’t find it).

    Muchas gracias!

    Thank you, S! Will do, for kid #1 & kid #2 (still en route). I will happily update the post, too, to reflect your new LGBT category. And bless you for that little “embrace diversity” flag thingy in the upper right corner!

    LD's No on California Prop 8 fundraising

    Goal Thermometer no-on-8-cutie



    The time to step up is now.



    See that cute kid there on the right? My son. The day, this July, that my partner and I got hitched. It was our fourteenth anniversary. Help.

    Featured election news/analysis:

    Ellen DeGeneres: "My Political Point... And I Do Have One," on 24 Sept., 2008 at her site.
    The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It’s like if someone asked you, “You don’t want dessert, right?” But you do want dessert so you say, “Yes,” which really means you don’t want dessert. And if you say, “No,” which means you do want dessert -- it sounds like you don’t. Either way, you don’t get what you want. See -- confusing. Just like Prop. 8.



    So, in case I haven’t made myself clear, I’m FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right -- please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you’re informed, spread the word. I’m begging you. I can’t return the wedding gifts -- I love my new toaster.
    For those that missed it, here Ellen is chatting with McCain (2 Sept., 2008) on the topic of gay marriage.
