Book
Families like mine : children of gay parents tell it like it is
Author Garner was five years old when her mother and father divorced and her dad came out as gay. Growing up immersed in gay culture, she now calls herself a "culturally queer" heterosexual woman. As a child, she often found herself in the middle of the political and moral debates surrounding lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) parenting. She has since become a nationally recognized advocate for the estimated 10 million children growing up with LGBT parents. The creator of FamiliesLikeMine.com, Garner has written a deeply personal and much-needed book about gay parenting, from the seldom-heard perspective of grown children raised in these families. Using interviews with more than fifty sons and daughters, she debunks the myths that these children grow up damaged and confused, or that they turn out "just like everyone else." Eloquent and sophisticated, this book provides an insider's perspective for LGBT parents, their families, and their allies.--From publisher description.
