Who gets to breastfeed? Lesbians and their son

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Two Moms from The Story in North Carolina Catherine and Kathleen McAuley are expecting a baby boy next week. They’ve been together for 6 years; about 9 months ago, Catherine got pregnant through artificial insemination. Both moms are joyous, but the most typical reaction they encounter in other people is confusion: “How did you decide which one of you would get pregnant?” or “How will you explain the gay thing to your kid?”

Catherine and Kathleen talk to Dick Gordon about sharing the pregnancy and figuring out how to talk to other people about it.

Two thoughts on gay marriage

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

I personally haven’t thought about “gay marriage” in over a year, and just like the recent news about partial birth abortion made me reflect on the topic, anew I have new experiences to bring to this discussion since I am now married.

This is a rather old article/podcast (from 2004?) from Speaking of Faith, (which was recommended to me by my friend, Kelli Trujillo) I enjoyed listening to these two interviews from Gay Marriage: Blessed or Broken? even thought I disagree with some of the contents.
