This Saturdays topic is: Talking to your kids about the diversity of relationships and families in the LGBTQ community:

The recent advances in marriage equality have brought a great deal of attention to LGBTQ families that can be seen as the same, but different - two adults deciding to make a lifetime commitment to each other, two adults deciding to parent together. The prospect of the present generation growing up with a cultural context in which families with two moms or two dads are just a given is heartening. Many LGBTQ families spill out of those boundaries, though - two moms and two dads parenting together, two dads and one mom doing so, two moms and one dad, single parents going it on their own, large extended families of affinity that offer the support traditionally relied upon from blood relatives, complex polyamorous families, families in which one or more parents are genderqueer or transition before or after becoming parents, and many, many more. Let's take some time in September to share our experiences and perceptions as families both inside and outside those "same, but different" boundaries.
