I had to laugh though at one of their company wide presentations for the kids on diversity in the workplace--- I saw her stand up for her moms and point out that gay families are a part of the diverse makeup of this company- not just differences in skin color, religion, etc. It was listed on the power point presentation but the presenters opted to pussy foot around the topic. My daughter would have none of that!! The people from HR gave furtive glances around the room and I raised my eyebrow at them (they knew she's my daughter) and waited to see what would happen. They mumbled some non-sequitur about differences in families about who you go home to at night is your family. Blah blah blah fishcakes. They also have a coloring contest for the kids to make a picture of their family to show the diversity of our corporation. This is one place where my kidlet might have a strong advantage over whitebread families-- what with the racial differences, physical and learning challenges, and all in our lesbian family!!
