In this special edition of our weekly video blog, brought to you in partnership with After Ellen, my partner Helen and I survey the world of lesbian moms on television, tackling such provocative questions as “Do Xena and Gabrielle count as lesbian moms?” “Should there be a lesbian-family version of The Brady Bunch?” and “Why do so many shows spend more time on the search for sperm than on the next eighteen years of parenthood?”
There will be no vlog next Thursday, as we assume most of you in the U.S. will be gorging yourselves on turkey (or soy-based substitutes) and pumpkin pie (for which there is no substitute, though a slice of pecan pie complements it nicely). Stay tuned for another one on November 29.
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.
