Yep. You read right: Swag.
Had to do it. Need to try to cover the costs of this blog somehow, and I still haven‘t brought myself to sell ads. Er, yet. If I find I can cover the operating expenses with the scheme below, then LD will stay ad-free.
After a nine-month trial period, I find this swag is functioning primarily as lesbo propaganda, and hardly at all in a fund-raising capacity, which is totally fine. I finally went and started running ads to cover costs, and evidently the sky hasn’t caved in. Yet.
LD slogan mania (affixed to any number of items, click each link to see) is conveyed to your doorstep by the infinitely extensible swag repository known as CafePress.com, and at the moment includes:
- Lesbian Dad
- simple, straightforward (no pun intended), declamatory; for those what are one or love one (or ‘em)
- Lesbian Dad Dictionary Definition
- cribbed from the “About” page dealie, for the pedantic crowd
- I heart my lesbian husband
- an instant classic
- amor vincit omnia
- love does conquer all, after all
- QUESTION PARENTAL AUTHORITY
- for the anarchist youth league
- QUESTIONABLE PARENTAL AUTHORITY
- for the “good cop” parents among you
- ACTUAL PARENTAL AUTHORITY
- for the “bad cop” parents among you
- My other Mama’s a Baba.
- for yer kids what have one as such
- I have absolutely no idea what this t-shirt says.
- for the pre-literate crowd
- My mom’s a lesbian and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
- self-explanatory
- My aunt’s a lesbian and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
- see above re: self-explanatory
- My sister’s a lesbian and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
- ditto the explanatoriness
- My friend’s a lesbian and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
- see above and above and above
- I’m a lesbian and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
- self-explanatory, if whiny
Check back often as new earth-shattering captions and slogans occur to me (or you! see below!) and get emblazoned on yet more virtual goods.

It’s all sassy pro-lesbian, or pro-lesbian family, or pro-parental good humor sloganeering. All of which you would have been needing anyway, right?

Our first LD swag model! The angelic Gabriel, whose escapades (and those of his Mama and Baba) are chronicled over at Nhamo in paradise.
And don’t he look sweet!
Okay, and next up, we have LD swag models #2 & 3. Gabriel’s shirt, in blue:
And one I consider a personal favorite, the “I have absolutely no idea what this t-shirt says” slogan in action:
Yes, he is in the middle of spitting some food out. Kind of goes with the que sera, sera attitude of the shirt, no?
Did you buy any of this stuff? Send me a picture of it in action and it will become famous! Or at least readily accessible to anyone viewing this page!
The accompanying note from ol’ pal AZ: “My coffee cup in action — the way I start every morning!”
One of many reasons she’s an ol’ pal. (And a thrill-seeker! Check out the landing pad for the mug!)
Stands up to wear and tear! T-shirt (and stalwart kid care provider) vincit omnia!
Strikes again! This time, with the ‘tween set.
And again! This time, with the octogenarian set.
Okay now if this isn’t the best pairing of motto and model I don’t know what is.
