It’s a parent

After letting loose a week’s worth of spit-polished essay (the better to pass our time as I nursed my surgery wounds), I am a tad sheepish. I give your average blog post a whole lot less rehearsal time, shoving it in front of the footlights, wig akimbo and costume unbuttoned, with only a fraction [...]

Tee hee

Her first experience of a pun in print.
She’s noodling around, typing letters, pretend words, and such like. Feeling the extendo power of pressing a key and seeing a huge version of the letter pop into existence in front of her. (Arial Black, size 72 font, on a Word doc in landscape, [...]

Other than Mother

Part six of a six-part series of excerpts from “Confessions of a Lesbian Dad,” originally published in Confessions of the Other Mother: Non-biological Lesbian Moms Tell All (Ed. Harlyn Aizley.

    LD's No on California Prop 8 fundraising

    Goal Thermometer no-on-8-cutie



    The time to step up is now.



    See that cute kid there on the right? My son. The day, this July, that my partner and I got hitched. It was our fourteenth anniversary. Help.

    Featured election news/analysis:

    Ellen DeGeneres: "My Political Point... And I Do Have One," on 24 Sept., 2008 at her site.
    The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It’s like if someone asked you, “You don’t want dessert, right?” But you do want dessert so you say, “Yes,” which really means you don’t want dessert. And if you say, “No,” which means you do want dessert -- it sounds like you don’t. Either way, you don’t get what you want. See -- confusing. Just like Prop. 8.



    So, in case I haven’t made myself clear, I’m FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right -- please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you’re informed, spread the word. I’m begging you. I can’t return the wedding gifts -- I love my new toaster.
    For those that missed it, here Ellen is chatting with McCain (2 Sept., 2008) on the topic of gay marriage.
