It’s time for this week’s video blog, published in partnership with After Ellen.

This week, in our romp through the worlds of lesbian parenting and popular culture, my partner Helen and I bring you Ellen in a tutu! Gender bending on Sesame Street! Fun with dolls! Plus, a bevy of books about adoption in honor of National Adoption Month, including a brand-new one by LGBT-inclusive author Todd Parr. We also advise prospective parents that it’s never too early to start talking about parenting (though I’ll add that you might want to unpack the U-Haul first).

If the Veoh video above isn’t working (sometimes their server can be flaky), you can try it at DailyMotion, though the picture quality isn’t as good there.
