I started reading and had to stop because I was at work and kept tearing up.<BR/><BR/>I don't know you. I'm just your average straight punk-rock girl. BUT I was overwhelmingly proud of you. I have a lot of gender-queer friends and your story not only inspires me (as a newly pregnant woman) but will inspire all of us as a woman making a family in the ways that feel right to them.<BR/><BR/>Your family is beautiful. Thank you for working so hard to create the sense of family that is often missing in America. You will make my baby's future better simply by loving your kiddo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839129284985526376.post-11953931382206631492008-11-19T17:37:00.000-08:002008-11-19T17:37:00.000-08:00Your comments ring so true for me. being a parent has made the stakes of politics so much higher for me. I am so glad that what was though of as nearly impossible for our generation, a black president is what my sons will know. Ben will be 6 when Obama's 1st term is over. He'll be old enough to remember it all. <BR/>PS...I'm impressed that you have time to write your blog at all with such a little one at home!Elsjenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839129284985526376.post-13778549945776013662008-11-19T14:08:00.000-08:002008-11-19T14:08:00.000-08:00Caitlin-<BR/><BR/>I know. It just takes my breath away sometimes. And especially for us, to think that my daughter, the child of queer and transgender parents, will grow up knowing that the child of another "different" sort of family became president, it's just so overwhelming.<BR/><BR/>And yes, we look forward to seeing you guys soon!QueerBabyMakinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10494337831780229823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839129284985526376.post-30858762060713415832008-11-18T21:21:00.000-08:002008-11-18T21:21:00.000-08:00Hi, I just found your blog while clicking around.

I am filled with new hope.<BR/>speaking of which, hope to see you and Ocean with the AP moms again soon!caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00596880072703063708noreply@blogger.com
