    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.

    Still curious? You'll find a ton more on the About page. Baffled by the lingo? Peruse the Glossary. For the proper immersion experience, I highly recommend a visit to the Best of LD.

    • Mr Lady commented on Groom saying I am very sorry that you are going to have to suffer through what I can only imagine will be several weeks of comments that all say the same thing: You amaze me. I celebrate for your family today. Old married couples are the best ones, anyway.
    • Mr Lady commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying I just am going to be all *swoony* and express, again, my gratitude for having found you. This is a phenomenal post.

    • carol commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying Love your observations...one of the best recaps/overviews I've read. I so enjoyed meeting you. (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.

    • Lesbian Dad commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying You are too kind. Now! [Cough choke!] A quick scan of their site shows that the Z1012 IS might be the one for you. Hold out for this one, baby! A price cannot be placed on your vision, but you certainly deserve their best.
