Computer screen worth watching at Lesbian Dad

Computer screen worth watching

9 Comments Published August 27th, 2008 in Go hetero ally go!, Miscellaney.

Apropos of nothing in particular about lesbian parenting, and everything in general about the world I hope my kids will grow up into, Michelle Obama’s speech from Monday:

Michelle Obama’s Speech at the Democratic National Convention

and this herstoric speech, from the Contender, last night:

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s Speech at the Democratic National Convention

both courtesy The New York Times.

The great benefit of the Times version is that it has a running transcript next to it.

Watched both with the kids on the lap this morning. They applauded whenever the crowd did, which was a lot. Little guy for the fun of it. I think his older sister, too.

When she asked who they were, I said, “Really smart women who may be President one day. Like you.”

ooo..i like that answer. it’s pretty nifty to see such a world where a woman and a black man can both be serious contenders for the white house. makes me hopeful for the future where our children will grow.

I’m watching Hilary’s right now.
I saw Michelle’s and I just sat there in awe. That woman just exudes class and grace. She’ll make a beautiful First Lady.

And while we’re at the I heart Michelle Obama love-fest. Katha Pollitt hearts her too.

Here’s her speech before LGBT delegates in Denver. Do we love her? Yes we do. (Hat tip to Box Turtle Bulletin).

Tangentially related via great women, politics and LGBT, I received a shout-out above measure from the Blogger Tent in Denver today.

OMG, dude! I think, would be the appropriate response.

“Hi Virgo! Thank you for being a fan of my work in the — media machine!” I heard her say it. Watched it in living video.

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.
