A day in the life of LGBT families at Lesbian Dad

A day in the life of LGBT families

Published June 4th, 2007 in Blogging for LGBT Families Day.

Chums beaming at SF Pride, June 2005.

I know you have the little image over there in the sidebar to tell you, but I thought I’d plug something in here, too, to remind readers that Friday was Mombian’s Blogging for LGBT Families Day. At final count, over 140 posts were submitted, by people from all kinds of LGBT families as well as their friends, from the U.S. and abroad. It’ll take me a while to read through them all, and I will. Fortunately Dana will also be culling through the bunch to group them and pair them and such, for easier reading. Browse through the listing here, and marvel at how much love and perseverance abounds.

Thanks for the kind words, Polly. The stories people contributed are truly amazing. Thanks (again) for taking part. Same time, next year. . . .

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.

Lesbian Dad commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying Thank you lizk for sharing that. I would recommend everyone click over and read it. It's refreshing and inspiring. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times (and since I've said it a thousand times, I suppose I've said it a million times): the battle against anti-gay bigotry has
lizk commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying I remember feeling at that moment like I’d been punched in the gut. I knew the Obama/Biden position on gay marriage, but to hear Biden say it so unequivocally in agreement with the McCain/Palin ticket was something else. Of course I will still support Obama – it is just too important on too many
Lesbian Dad commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying Holy hockey sticks, indeed! We were distressed on the lack of follow-up from Gwen Ifill, but after reading up a lot yesterday, I understand that was part of the agreed-upon format of the debate. I.e., no follow-ups from the moderator, but instead opportunity within the candidates for rebuttal, etc.: Dont Blame Gwen Ifill if the Veep
lulazoid commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying The chart sums it up perfectly. Over here in Europe, we watched incredulously as the moderator let things slip by! I mean, answer the question already. On the gay marriage question, we just looked at one another uncomprehendingly as Biden and Palin agreed. That said, Palin said one of her best friends was gay in
Lesbian Dad commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying Sister, "GAAAAK!" may be the most sensible response to it all. You have company, over the "toleration" matter, in Abby Callard at Slate: Is Being Tolerant Acceptable?" Sigh. Don't get me started. Thanks for taking offense. The more this is offensive to more people, the quicker we'll be done with all this
dimplecheek commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying What got my blood pressure higher than any other part of the debate was when Sarah Palin said something like gays would be "tolerated" by her. I can't remember what she said exactly because my head exploded. I am a hetero and I was offended by this remark. Is that what Thomas Jefferson and the
Lesbian Dad commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying Addendum #3: Obama's position paper on LGBT Rights, for those curious about the specifics. At some later date I might cite some stuff I've read by Obama in his book The Audacity of Hope. Confirms the anti-gay marriage stance, but does show he has a degree of humility and an openness. Pam
Lesbian Dad commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying Addendum #2: Not like many of us were surprised by Biden's unequivocal opposition to gay marriage (mitigated by the door prize of separate-but-equal civil unions). The whole point of the CA Supreme Court decision was, SEPARATE BUT EQUAL is LEGALLY INDEFENSIBLE. And, by the way, in effect, unequal. That's why its
