lifestyle site for lesbian moms and other LGBTQ parents, offering a mix of parenting, politics, diversions, and resources. I founded Mombian in 2005 after noting a lack of sites with current, practical news and information for LGBTQ parents, or sites that looked at other aspects of LGBTQ culture with a parent’s eye. I hope lesbian moms (and others) will find something interesting and perhaps worthy of conversation. I also created and host the annual #LGBTQFamiliesDay (formerly Blogging for LGBTQ Families Day) event, which began in 2006. For more, see the About page.
