Happy Blogging for GLBT Families Day!
Little did they know, but the authors of the popular children's readerwere paving the way for future publications which also define
a "family" as having only three female members.
Modern versions include one of my personal favorites,
Of course, families come in all shapes and sizes and with various representions of gender expression. I am very proud to be the honorary daughter of two very wonderful lesbians, Diane and Sally (or, as they sometimes call themselves, "a couple of old dykes on hormones"). Diane and Sally are raising Sally's now teenage son, and I have seen firsthand how our heteronormative society condemns their family.
I do not pretend to understand the intricacies or complexities of GLBT families. But I do firmly believe that our society will be strengthened, not underminded, when we embrace family diversity.
