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.

- Shane commented on What’s the story? saying All I can add is my answer to this question: "What stories are important to you and your family that aren’t being reported?" The short answer is how hard it is to even make a family. The obvious complication of two same gender parents is the initial complication that with the help of modern medicine or
- annz commented on What’s the story? saying In addition to what's already been mentioned, I'd like to see some in-depth thoughtful writing on how bridges are being built across what are usually described as unbreachable cultural/moral chasms. I'm thinking mostly of the kinds of conversations that have been inspired by your blog (and other blogs), when real-life stories and the love
- rev2bebt commented on What’s the story? saying Yes, yes and yes to everything that has been said so far. But because I am a strong believer in the power of the individual story to drive the larger meta-story deep into a listener's heart, I submit this: http://babyb-t.blogspot.com/2009/03/back-to-bubble.html, and some ruminations thereon: we were fortunate that the local hospital we were forced
- Lesbian Dad commented on What’s the story? saying Right there with you. I'm so glad Judy Appel is on the panel. She drove me (& others, including Beth Tepper, COLAGE ED) back from the big (way overdue) Prop 8 debrief in San Francisco in March of last year (wee postlet on it here). One of the things I found most compelling (and heartrending)

quite possibly the cutest picture in the universe.
Oh, thank you virgotex. I am constitutionally incapable of disagreeing with you, even in a falsely modest sort of way, since the little bugger drives me up a tree with love for him and I really can’t resist this rallying cry of his.
definitely the cutest! i’ve been meaning to get back to you re: sons. i wonder if it’s a second child thing because i feel like i have a similarly special connection with C. Stuff to think about. xo
This shot and the previous one of him sitting in the chair are absolutely amazing. Does he realize yet that he will likely get away with anything as far a you are concerned?
Erm, don’t tell him that. Since it’s absolutely true. I am hoping to impart enough charm and grace that, after he gets away with whatever he wants, he worms his way back into the good graces of whomever he just hoodwinked.
Okay, and since you asked. Or even if you didn’t. Here’s him cajoling his sister and Mama, after he was sure he had me (re)wrapped around his little pinky:

The first picture I took of my nephew with his hands in his pockets, age 5 I think, just about undid me. I don’t know why, but I find it so poignant.
I think it’s the gesture of an age beyond them — a foreshadowing of a more adult way of carrying the body which, when transposed on the wee little body, only underscores how mini (and vulnerable) they are. Thus bringing out the part in us — those of us that have it — that’s sympathetic and responsive to that. You know, that, or it’s just plain cute.
And I, of course, just love the curls
I would be tempted to follow him to the ends of the earth as well! He looks like a happy boy–you’re doing a great job!
My friend’s first baby was born on Wednesday morning. His twitter post this morning?: ‘So tired, but I think I could do this forever’.
That is beautiful.
The shot is awesome – the way he is looking back at you, wishing you to come. When I see pictures like this, I wish time could just stand still.
