Dads’ night out (with Looky Daddy), New York City.
A missing 24 year-old California woman and her family need your help. Please visit findmitrice.info and spread the word & her likeness, particularly to folks in and around California.
Holding the 14th amendment to its word.
LGBT people are basically invisible in the survey that is supposed to reflect the diversity of America's population – and that's a big problem.
Archived material about the 2008 California marriage equality fight and this site's treatment of it can be found at an LD No on 8 page. There you'll also find links to background info on the marriage equality issue & sources of info on current campaigns, like The Courage Campaign's Equality Hub. For ongoing news roundup on national marriage equality issues (updated daily), check out Stop8.org.
Lesbian Dad is written by a parent who answers to the name "Baba" and works toward a world in which amor does indeed vincit omnia. Still curious? You'll find a ton more on the About page. Or the Glossary. Or the Best of LD. The closest thing to an origin story can be found in this six-post series, excerpted from an essay of mine describing the dawn of my lesbian fatherhood.

- rockyv commented on Family tree saying Once again I find myself with wet eyes and a tight throat. Thanks for your beautiful writing & perspective. You too, dragon_mom. My nose is to the grindstone (a self-imposed position) so much that I forget to look up and see those trees and those birds. I feel inspired to deepen my good night

- BeethovenLives commented on Sleeping booty saying Beautiful. I used to do lights and sound for my friend's drama class in college. One night just before the show my trousers ripped right across the bum and down the leg. For modesty, the directer handed me a big roll of gaffer tape. Of course, it stuck to some very tender skin, and was

Y'all just make me smile. Plain & simple.

But all the really cool people were drinking Newcastle.
OMG, a meeting between LesbianDad and LookyDaddy. I wish I had been there. I think it should go down in the annals of famous meetings, like the time Poe met Dickens in Philadelphia, or maybe more like the time Emiliano Zapata met Pancho Villa in Mexico City. Can I buy a one of those beer glasses as a souvenir? (You did save them, didn’t you?) Or at least a crayon?
It was a heady summit, sister, let me tell you. Oliver meets Hardy. Abbot meets Costello. I was this close, actually, to purloining one of those beer glasses myself. I shoulda actually pinched a spoon at least, for all the attitude we got from the maître d’. What, they never seen underdressed cheapskates before?
Oh to be a fly giggling on the wall that evening.
That guy could mine humor from a root canal. O wait, I think he did.
You know, there was a stretch there where I actually didn’t stop laughing for at least five solid minutes. I’m not sure I’ve laughed that long and hard since an episode in high school that had mostly to do with Schlitz Malt Liquor, not with the quality of the humor.
Oh, please. If you were doing any laughing, it was at yourself, as I couldn’t get a word in edgewise. After but a few hours together, I have now heard the beginnings of at least 30 separate LesbianDad stories, not a single one of them carried through to what a reasonable person might call a “conclusion.” The only way I could get you to be silent for more than 45 seconds was to invoke Lindsay Wagner.
Those of us who have had the pleasure of knowing LesbianDad “in real life” have contemplated inventing a new drinking game in her honor – whenever she says “… but I digress…,” everyone has to drink! (But, as we’re not generally a truly hard-drinking crowd, and since the detours are as enjoyable as the main road, it’s just more fun to just hold onto your hat and enjoy the ride!)
Would this be considered a digression? Or simply Exhibit A: Why any self-respecting lesbian would stop short upon reference to Lindsay Wagner.
Okay here’s more. from Emily Almond, “Lesbians, Where Art Thou?”
Crayons, beer, LD meets LD. I would have paid for admission. You’re right, annz, none of us are up for the LesbianDad drinking game. I do, however, think she’s written her epitaph (hopefully a century in advance of its use)… but I digress.
Believe it or not, I am related to the Bionic Woman by marriage, although I have never met her, not do I expect to. I think I would be speechless.
