Hey guys!
Identify yourselves and tell us why you're here. It's like AA but happier. I'll go first.
I'm Meredith, 22 years old and from Michigan. I have a gay dad and I live with him and his partner Milt (and will until I'm out of grad school, most likely). They're awesome and I wouldn't trade them for straight parents any day. I hear this is rare, but I've never experienced anyone discriminating against me personally because of my dad's sexual orientation. I have a good story about how I found out he was gay, but we can make that a separate discussion. Proceed!

Re: introductions
Sat, January 10, 2004 - 8:52 PMMy name is Shawn. I'm 23 years old, and I live in Burnaby, BC.
I have two moms with whom I lived until 2½ years ago. Now we only live about eight blocks away.
I much enjoy having two mothers. I can't say that I experience any discrimination, either. My parents are perhaps the most straight lesbian couple in the city -- two dogs, SUV, suburban, new heritage-style home complete with hedgerow, etc.
For my part, I am a student in women's studies, political science, and fine & performing arts at Simon Fraser University.

Wed, January 28, 2004 - 12:03 PMHi.. my name is Morgan. My mom is lesbian.. i havent lived with her since i was 8 but i find that she is a lot more open with me than my father. She recently got married and i dont really like her new partner. But i am happy if she is happy. It was hard for me growing up because i hid her relationship with her partner from a lot of my friends. I told them that she had a room mate and didnt invite many friends over. But now i am completely cool with her sexual orientation. She is one cool cat! -

Re: introductions
Fri, April 2, 2004 - 3:45 PMMy name is Jon and I am from Austin. My mom came out of the closet shortly before I entered 6th grade. I accepted it since I was always aware of strange feelings I had for other boys for awhile. My father on the other hand went between very excepting and rage. I was living with my father at the time due to the fact that when they were divorcing my parents asked me who I wanted to live with and I evidentally picked my father. I can't remember than nor can I fathom ever doing it. I lived with my father until I turned 13 and then forced a situation to move in with my mother. My mother has always accepted me for who I am and life became easier after that.

Fri, June 4, 2004 - 4:51 PMHey My name is Whitney. My dad was bisexual and my parents were in an open marriage up until he died of AIDS in 91. My sister and I live out in California now, although we grew up in NY. My dad was both bisexual and biracial, so he had alot of practice living a variety of contradictions and double lifestyles. My sister and I both identify as queer as do both our step siblings. I actually worked for an organization this summer called COLAGE which stands for children of lesbians and gays everywhere. There are chapters in most states.
If you're interested, you should check out their website at www.colage.org

Tue, September 14, 2004 - 12:11 AMHi I'm Wendy. I was born in San Francisco. My father is gay. His partner (Dean) of about 20 years past away about a year ago of diabeties. As a child I lived with my mom and visited my dads every other weekend. Shortly before Dean passed away, I got to know my father as an adult person. I have to say he is not the daddy I thought he was. But I was lucky I had Dean. He was more of a father to me than my "real" father. Growing up I didn't experience any descrimination because of my dads.

Tue, February 1, 2005 - 9:43 AMI'm Dani and I have two moms who haven't been together since I was 2... My gay donor dad has been in my life since the begining as a "family friend". My bio-mom has been married to a man for 15 years, but my non-bio-mom has been married to a woman for 8 years... I was born in Oakland, ca and had/have an amazing family. I truely believe that when gay parents try to make a baby they want them more than any breeder out there. I myself am a breeder am married and have 2 kids... This could be a really cool tribe. People -- start writing! -
