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.

And fortunately several classmates from last year are with her now. Plus, as we like to tell her, friends she hasn't met yet.
- Shereen commented on Much ado saying Here's where I guiltily admit my bourgeois love of others' before and after pictures. Having any sort of wherewithal to do it is a blessing and a luxury, but still. Human beings create homes, I am convinced, as part of a spiritual need. Don't be ashamed of adding a few feathers to the nest. And

Hi LD Great picture.
Just digesting your heavenly smorgasbord of an archive. Being a reflective/ contemplative type (chopped liver and piece on egg donation attracting most thought so far) Im still mulling.
As I house labour away removing food matter and God-knows-what from various floors, walls etc there’s just one morsel sticking in my teeth. One little wafer thin mint of indigestible incongruity.
Too sated to pick back through the bones, I might have read it wrong or be recollecting incorrectly. Did you just write all THAT yet allude to some kind of inspiration from Hugh Grant?
If so please explain…..I can see the allure of foppishness. Is it the propriety? He comes across as having a certain humility and gentleness. The tics? But thats all there is. He’s always the same in his movies. And infidelity is surely a cardinal sin.

So very glad you’re going back for more. The mixed blessing of a smorgasbord is often that the food that is so plentifully available is also of questionable quality.
And as to Mr. Grant: my likeness to him (real or imagined) is strictly superficial. Whenever people stop me on the street and ask me whether I am Hugh Grant, I have to tell them: “Do I look like I’m the kind of person who would cheat on Elizabeth Hurley?!!”
“Whenever people stop me on the street and ask me whether I am Hugh Grant, I have to tell them: ‘Do I look like I’m the kind of person who would cheat on Elizabeth Hurley?!!’”
LD, that’s without a doubt one of the top 5 funniest things you’ve ever written!

Top response. *laughing*. Looked back and found the picture you’ve posted of yourself. You really are a dead ringer for Hugh Grant. Oh hang on that IS Hugh Grant.
Must help with the florist bill: no floral lapel required when meeting strangers; perhaps a little tedious at parties though ‘Anyone ever told you…?’
Mixed blessing? Au contraire. All items delicious and cooked to perfection.
