Buried in laundry, Berkeley, CA.
Holding the 14th amendment to its word.
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.

Great photo! My wife said to tell you that it has a wonderful Sally Mann feel to it. (This is quite a compliment, she thinks Sally Mann is a great photographer and her photos have amazing depth.)
Thank you (& her!). So do I (re: Sally Mann). Of all the laundry pile images, I liked this the most for their semi-bored, ultra-relaxed, totally in different directions expressions. Wonder if it’s that languorousness that made her think of Mann (to me that’s one of the very most distinct qualities of her images).
The beloved sighs a sad sigh of resignation, though, since I was supposed to be folding this laundry, not photographing it. Oops.
Another beautiful photo.
Oi! How incredibly do your wee ones dress up the laundry pile.
Whenever I attempt to fold the laundry, or in fact, do anything to the laundry, Noah bounds out from whatever he’s been up to, shrieking with glee, “Laundry! Laundry! Laundry!” Then he flings himself full-body into the pile.
Great capture.
