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.

Did someone get a haircut?? =)
After some kicking and screaming (his, and mine). But it has a nice Peter Tork kind of look to it, eh what?
I was going to say The Beatles. And holy cow – he’s a little boy. Cue the Sunrise, Sunset.

THAT, they can’t vote away, no sireee.

jeez what a prolifically photogenic child. ne’er a bad photo i’m guessing…
I’m glad to hear that the curls remain intact — and ditto =)
