Growing Up With Mom and Mom
Magazin danasnjeg NY Timesa na naslovnici donosi clanak o odrastanju u gay obiteljima.

As more and more gay men and lesbians feel comfortable coming out earlier in their lives and the possibility of legalized same-sex marriage appears to be gaining ground in select states, Ry's experience may represent the future of gay households. Already, the 2000 Census reported that some 150,000 same-sex couples had children in their homes. If the last three decades of the gay rights movement focused on sexual freedom and acceptance, the next three decades seem destined to continue the current battle for the right to marry and, by extension, the right to be a parent.
Of course, even without the benefit of legal protection, gay men and women have been raising children for long enough and in large-enough numbers that they've become an acknowledged part of their communities. Schools in places like Los Angeles and Boston mount displays of famous gay figures and make sure the library includes books like ''King and King,'' about a prince who marries a princess's brother.
