Queer parenting insists that parenting is a verb, an action and identity available to any and all adults who take on a shared responsibility.

“I don’t know, y’all, being a parent is so scary, and sweet and weird and hilarious and exhausting and ugly and lonely and suffocating and perfect.”

Unfortunately, most parenting books weren’t written with queer moms, trans dads, non-binary parents and gestational carriers, and families that look like ours in mind.

We’re looking to bring some more writers on our team and listen — maybe perhaps you are one of them?

I want Remi to be able to write and narrate her own life. I owe her that as someone who had to reclaim my story.

Vermont has the weed, you have Hayley Kiyoko, Instagram, #MeToo, Rosie the Riveter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, queer pop’s last taboo, and so much more!

As we head into the crisp, fresh beginning of 2020 and a new decade, we want to hear about your queerest, wildest dreams for the future. Deadline for submissions is January 31!

Parenting during the pandemic is a wild ride, so consider this our queer parenting circle, a safe place to share the good and the bad!

I wouldn’t say I’ve escaped the Cult of Mommy completely. I’ve defined it for myself.

Why are there so many TV shows about high school kids who don’t act like high school kids at all?

“Do you feel like we’re drifting apart?” I asked.

I was proudly pro-abortion before I was a mom. I’ve doubled down on that belief after becoming one.

Everything my toddler taught me about prioritizing play.

Remi saved the holidays!

“And then she told us there was another child — a baby — at a nearby hospital. Were we interested? We said yes even though we had a thousand questions and just as many concerns (why was he in the hospital? Where were his birth parents? Who was holding him when he cried?). That baby turned out to be our son.”

There are no right or wrong answers in queer and trans parenting choices, just the decisions we make.

I didn’t understand unconditional love until I met Remi.

“I want to read stories about dykes not acting right. I want to read about people being messy. So I want to write about that too.”
