Over a glass of holiday “vlog nog,” Helen and I take a detour from parenting talk to examine an article in the latest issue of Cosmo titled, “Angelina Did it. So Did Lindsay. What It’s Like to Love a Girl.” We also note the strange convergence of Cosmo fashion trends and lesbian style. Moving back to parenting, we discuss past and present lesbian moms on ER, a new pair of gay penguin parents, recent court rulings related to lesbian moms, and a cheap but fun kid craft involving a pizza box and duct tape.
Phew. That’s a lot. It will have to hold you until after the holidays, though, since we’ll be taking a vlog break for two weeks now.

Mombian YouTube Channel: Positive videos of LGBT families

The constant cries for more ideas on “She Got Me Pregnant” gave me the courage to make this suggestion on the twlight of Christmas Eve. I was wondering if both you and Helen would answer my question on the show and speak about how to explain homophobia and possibly racism (I know a bit farfetched but it doesn’t hurt to ask) in LGBT families. My question is written below:
I’m currently living with my partner in the Southeastern US and we have been together for 7 years. We are Black and Asian moms to a Nordic blonde haired blue-eyed four year old son. Our son is constantly nagging us about visiting his grandparents (on both sides of his family) but there are some facts we know about them that he doesn’t. One is they are frightfully homophobic and don’t want us “pushing our agendas” on the rest of the family. Another is they are dangerously racist and constantly made racist remarks about our son’s appearance and birth family when he was younger. Should we tell our son now while he is young why his extended family won’t visit us or would it be best to just keep quiet? If not, then what would be the appropriate way to tell him.
Thank you for reading!
