I’ve Redecorated! Mombian’s New Look
Welcome to the new look of Mombian! I’ve been moving the furniture around, so come on in and have a seat!
It’s been far too long since I’ve redesigned the site, but I’ve been tweaking and geeking a bit, and I think things are mostly in order now.
Celebrating Five Years of the Mombian Newspaper Column
What a week. I was surprised this morning to see Mombian’s nomination for the GLAAD Awards—but I was already in a celebratory mood because today marks five years of my Mombian newspaper column. (The blog is going on seven.) The column has been a chance for me to delve more deeply and reflectively into some [...]
Mombian Nominated for “Outstanding Blog” in GLAAD Media Awards
I am honored to announce that Mombian has just been nominated for “Outstanding Blog” in the 23rd Annual GLAAD Media Awards. I’m truly flattered, especially since I’m in very good company. The other nominees are The Bilerico Project, The New Civil Rights Movement, Rod 2.0, and Towleroad—all sites and bloggers whom I admire and consider [...]
In Memoriam
By way of further explanation for my blog absence this week: My father passed away on Monday. It was not unexpected, but no less difficult because of that.
Back in a Few
I’m taking a few days off because of a family emergency. Thanks for your understanding.
And We’re Back
I’m back from a week of vacation, floating around the Mexican Riviera with my spouse, son, and in-laws. As soon as I’ve recovered from a red-eye flight and jet lag, I’ll fire up the posts here again. In the meantime, here’s a slightly related story from the Associated Press about Mexico City’s 1000th same-sex wedding. [...]
Summer Vacation
I’m taking a few days to recover and recharge after BlogHer, and to try and assimilate everything that happened there, especially during the great panel session I participated on with Ana Flores of Spanglish Baby, Tracey Friley of One Brown Girl, and moderator Deb Rox of 3 Smart Girlz and Deb on the Rocks. Posting will therefore be a [...]
See You at BlogHer!
I’m furiously packing to head off to the big BlogHer conference for women bloggers in San Diego this weekend. If any of you are going (other than Polly of Lesbian Dad and Vikki of Up Popped a Fox, whom I know will be there), drop me a note. I’d love to meet you! I’m also excited to meet my fellow [...]
Going to BlogHer? Say Hi!
Hard to believe I’m talking about August already, but I’ll be speaking at the big BlogHer conference for women bloggers at the beginning of August in San Diego. If any of you are going, drop me a note. I’d love to meet you! I’ll be on the “Minding Your Own Business – When diversity is [...]
Snowed In–And a Bit of Winter Reading
We’re snowed in outside of Boston here. There’s more than a foot of the white stuff on the ground. Regular blogging will resume when we’ve finished our hot chocolate. In the meantime, if you haven’t read Stephanie Coontz’ recent piece in the Washington Post, “Gay marriage isn’t revolutionary. It’s just next,” go do so. “For [...]
Back on Tuesday
My son’s school starts next week, so I’m taking today and Monday off from blogging in order to do all those back-to-school things that need to be done—including, I imagine, a marathon Lego session with said son. (Not that that really has to do with going back to school, but it’s quality time together to [...]
Become a Fan
I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet and move all Mombian Facebook goodness over to a Fan page. The Mombian Group has been growing strong—over 260 members at last count—but a Fan page makes a few things easier to manage for me. So: Even if you’re a member of the Group already, please click the [...]
Congratulations, Lezzy Winners
A very hearty congratulations to the winners of the 2009 Lezzy Awards, sponsored by The Lesbian Lifestyle. There are some mighty fine blogs out there, including Up Popped a Fox, who took it home in the Parenting category, over Lesbian Dad and myself. Vikki keeps us all in stitches with her riotous tales of parenting [...]

(Vote for your favorite blogs in other categories, too.) Voting closes at midnight, ET. Even if you’ve voted before, you can do so again, as long as your [...]

It turns out Mombian is now a finalist. I hope you will take a minute to pop over and vote for Mombian, along with [...]

It costs $1.99 per month (after a 14-day free trial); the advantage over the free version here is that you can [...]
Happy Turkey Baster Awareness Day!
A very happy Thanksgiving to all of you celebrating it this week. Remember to make the turkey baster jokes before your relatives do. Posting will be light here for a few days as our family will be stuffing ourselves with poultry and pie.

Be Right Back
A quick note to say I’m going to be offline more than usual over the next few days in preparation for my son starting first grade (!!!) next week. I have a bunch of posts scheduled, though, including the vlog tomorrow, in which Helen and I discuss the classic theme of sperm banks and turkey [...]

Thanks, Curve!
Thanks to Curve magazine and contributing editor Sheryl Kay for profiling me in the “Out in Front” section of their July/August issue. It’s an honor. The issue is not yet online, but you can view the PDF here. If you subscribe, you can find me on p. 19.
Have a Good Holiday!
No Weekly Political Roundup this week, as I’m spending the time with my family for the holiday, and I suspect few of you will be around either. Have a good holiday, if you’re celebrating it!
Happy Blogaversary to Mombian
Four years ago today, I published my first Mombian post. It’s been a longer and more fun journey than I ever could have imagined, thanks to all of you who have stopped by to read, comment, and in many cases, become friends. My vision for the site then was to offer news, analysis, and resources [...]
We Now Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Programming
I’m not posting a Weekly Political Roundup this week. I did an LGBT Parenting Roundup yesterday that I hope will hold you until next Friday. You see, our son is graduating from kindergarten today, and I wouldn’t be a very good parenting blogger if I didn’t get out and, well, parent. Gotta go get him [...]
Taking a Short Break
I’m taking a short blogging break this week, so posts will be light. I have a few things set to publish automatically (so do stop by), but I will likely not be doing much in terms of breaking news. (This means, of course, that the California marriage decision will likely happen this week, because that’s [...]
