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.

- Lesbian Dad commented on First day first grade saying Thank you! So far so good!
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

- Lesbian Dad commented on Much ado saying The position of Chief Financial Officer is now filled. The rest of you: thank you for your applications; we'll keep your resumes on file should another similar position open up in the future. AnnZ, I hope you're okay with competitive compensation.

My girl would be very happy to think of life as one big glitter delivery mechanism. I love the sight of your girl in black amid the pink (mine is also into black, although she loves nothing better than a swirly pink tutu to go with the black leotard).
well aren’t we all kinda waiting for the glitter? i mean really….
I just came across your blog, very exciting! I love the focus in this picture. Look forward to reading!
Thank you!
Funny about the picture: I rarely fiddle with images in Photoshop, but I liked this one and didn’t want to not use it just because the other gals in it were visible (I don’t use pictures of people, kids especially, in the private sphere without permission). Blurring it helps focus on the moment, and keep the other kiddles abstract.
Hope you enjoy what you find here. There’s a lot of nifty folks who are part of the conversation.
I also rarely mess around with my images! Partly because I don’t know how (haha) but also because I just like it to be what it is. It is just a hobby of mine, so maybe if I did it professionally I would feel different. Who knows. But in this case, it’s a perfect time to use it. It really makes your eyes zero in and focus on the main subject : )
I will be sure to check around at your commenters then … I’ve only recently started blogging so locating people out there who also blog that I can relate to is awesome.
I see on your blog that you plan eventually to expand your family to include youngins. When you get closer to that, you have to pay a visit to LesbianFamily.org. It’s a listing of hundreds of — yep, what you’d expect — lesbian family blogs. Talk about locating people out there whom you can relate to.
I actually just posted an entry today about the latest family planning decisions! Thanks so much for the link … another place for me to visit and not get my work done : )
