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.

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.

- 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

What a cutie! Can’t beat the dimples! Whoa be unto you when he figures out how to use them for evil.
You know… we get to see all these beautiful pics of the little kidlets, but I feel that I am finally emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually ready to see what Mama and Baba look like. How about a picture featuring the parental units? Whadayasay?

Yer tellin me about using them for evil. I will rue the day. No thing and no one will be immune from his powers, etc.
I should say that, as anyone knows who’s the Designated Family Photographer (always behind the camera; rarely in front of it), it’s easy to indulge my modesty. But hey! Who am I to disappoint! I sez, hurtle over the shyness and give the people what they want! Or Ansett what she wants!
Behold, me in a frock coat. Okay, a PhotoShopped me in a frock coat, which I whipped up for a comment back on some post about a Beatrix Potter book.:
And here’s the beloved’s most recent head shot:
Glam, eh? Though she doesn’t always have that laquered look.
Okay, but seriously. Here’s a nice straightforward lovey dovey family shot at the lil’ monkey’s first Dyke Day in SF two years ago. No laquered sweetie; no PhotoShop.
Don’t know if that’s emotionally or spiritually or intellectually discombobulating, but there you have it. As my old friend and erstwhile housemate Tammy used to say, “Voila and viola!”
Gorgeous. Thanks!
I was just talking with a woman yesterday about why some folks put up pics of their kids but won’t show themselves. Your kid shots are fantastic, but it’s nice to see the family adults as well.
Fan-bloody-tastic! Thanks. You both look like lovely people. The little ones look so much like their mom.
Adorable! Thanks for sating everyone’s curiousity.
Head shots are such a strange and interesting art form. I have one of Jill’s, which she rejected as unusable, framed on the mantel. The official ones, I mostly find so stilted and as you put it, laquered.
What I really should have posted was:
I’d like to think that captures the essence of “me” better than any “likeness.”
Okay, or this!
(Happy Halloween. Okay now I’ll stop.)
