Someone I have never met donated a large sum of money, for no other reason than they felt it was the right thing to do, to help my family feel safe.

For queer parents like me, meanwhile — although I know that my whiteness and my class affords me a degree of protection from scrutiny and interference — the threat of being deemed an illegitimate parent also serves to silence any discussion of mixed feelings.

While it might seem frivolous to those who feel right at home in the titles "mom" or "dad," many queer parents agonize over what they want their children to call them.

The decision to terminate a pregnancy is often informed by the needs of the children a pregnant person is already raising.

Brands getting in on the body love game might be a positive sign, but in and of itself it is not radical. We need to make body love radical again!
