    Lesbian Dad 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.

(I'm the one you "helped" in the hallway after the keynote with Heather and Stephanie...you can just call me "homey".) Looking forward to reading your site in the future.
