Passover Questions for LGBTQ Families: A Seder Supplement
Passover begins this Wednesday! How might we LGBTQ families use the traditional “Four Questions” of the holiday to guide our modern-day journeys? Here are my suggestions, slightly revised from a piece I wrote a few years ago.
In Memoriam: the Nashville Shooting Victims
Another school shooting. Children and adults dead. The epidemic of gun violence continues. Here again are some resources on talking with children about shootings, something no parent should need, but that too many of us sadly do.
My Auto Adventure With Nissan
When Nissan USA asked if my spouse and I would like to attend an influencer weekend, I said yes—it’s important for us LGBTQ folks to have a seat at the table (or in the vehicle). Come along on our ride to the Catskills, with my musings on corporate allyship!
Italian Government Tells Milan Not to Allow Birth Certificates with Same-Sex Parents
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s far-right government has told the city of Milan not to recognize or allow birth certificates showing two mothers or two fathers.
Rhode Island Bill Seeks to Simplify Confirmatory Adoptions
Rhode Island legislators yesterday heard testimony in support of a bill that would streamline the process of confirmatory adoptions, ensuring that more LGBTQ families have access to this unfortunately necessary tool for protecting our legal ties to our children.
“The Queer Family Podcast” Showcases Beautiful, Unique Stories
When Jaimie Kelton launched a podcast for queer families in 2018, she thought, “This would be a fun side project.” Now, 11 seasons later, she’s interviewed hundreds of queer families, published a book based on many of their stories, and has just rebranded the podcast to emphasize the range of queer family experiences the show covers.
Happy Purim, the Most Drag-tastic Jewish Holiday
Purim, which starts this evening, is perhaps the queerest Jewish holiday, with a theme of coming out and a tradition of costume wearing. Celebrate with a queer-inclusive Purim kids’ book and books by a Jewish drag queen—and consider fulfilling the holiday’s charitable obligation by supporting drag story times for kids!
Connecticut Bill Would Provide Equity in Fertility Care for LGBTQ People and Others
Connecticut lawmakers heard testimony this week on a bill that would require insurers to cover fertility care not only for people who are diagnosed as infertile, but also for LGBTQ couples and single people who need medical assistance to build their families.
Florida Rep. Seeks to Expand “Don’t Say Gay/LGBTQ” Law
A Florida legislator has introduced a bill that would expand the state’s “Don’t Say Gay/LGBTQ” law to completely ban instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity from pre-K through eighth grade classrooms and ban the use of pronouns and names aligned with transgender and nonbinary students’ gender identities in schools.
