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.
