Christmas ball

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Posting will be light here for a bit while I make merry with my multi-faith family (though next week I will post the second part of my year-end interview with leading LGBTQ family advocates, in which they share what they see ahead for 2022). I’ll also keep up the fun on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Please join me!

Summer Slowdown

Summer is upon us, so as usual, I’m going to scale back posting frequency a bit (but not entirely!) through August in order to spend more time with my family and work on a few behind-the-scenes projects. I’ll still post a couple of times a week and be on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, so I won’t disappear completely. I hope you and your families are enjoying the summer, too.

Happy Sweet 16 to Mombian!

Mombian is 16 today! A special Sweet 16 thanks to all of you who have read, commented, shared, and otherwise engaged with this site, other readers, and me over the years.

The Mombian Database of LGBTQ Family Books, Media, and More

Announcing the Mombian Database of LGBTQ Family Books, Media, and More

I am thrilled to reveal a project I’ve been working on for months (and in some ways, years): the Mombian Database of LGBTQ Family Books, Media, and More: over 500 books, music albums, movies, games, and toys for and about LGBTQ families. This is not just a booklist: you can search and filter by categories, tags, and more. Want board books with queer dads? Picture books starring Black transgender girls? Memoirs by queer moms about adoption? You can find them, among many other combinations!

Summer Slowdown 2020

Summer is upon us. I’m going to scale back posting frequency a bit (but not entirely!) through August in order to spend more time with my family and work on a few behind-the-scenes projects. I’ll still post a couple of times a week and be on social media. I hope you and your families are able to enjoy something of the summer, too, even in these trying times.

Summer Slowdown 2019

Pride Month is over, my son’s out of school, and summer vacation is upon us. I’m going to scale back posting frequency a bit (but not entirely!) through August in order to recharge and spend more time with my family—but I’ll still post a couple of times a week and be on social media.

Happy 14th Blogiversary to Mombian!

Mombian is 14 today! A great big thank you to everyone who’s read, shared, commented, e-mailed, and otherwise engaged with the site, other readers, and me!

Mombian: Since 2005

It’s the start of a new school year, so Mombian is making a fresh start with a new style! Come and have a look around. 

Summer Slowdown 2018

Pride Month is over, my son’s out of school, and summer vacation is upon us. I’m going to scale back posting frequency a bit (but not entirely!) for a couple of months in order to recharge and spend more time with my family.
