Buying a house was one of the first things Kristin and I did when we decided that we were almost ready to start a family. However, trust me, when I say this, it was quite an arduous task to do! Let me tell all my readers beforehand that if you […]
The Utah Supreme Court handed down their opinion on Jones v. Barlow today. The case involves Keri Jones and Cheryl Barlow. The two women conceived a child via a.i. and then when the child was 2, their relationship ended. Barlow now claims that she is no longer gay and doesn’t want her child exposed […]
Someone suggested to me that I write this week on trying to have a sex life with my partner while raising a toddler. I think she thought this would be a hard thing to do. Not the writing about it, goodness knows I can write about sex as long as […]
Ok, it’s not my day to post… but I’m just going to sneak in here and leave this little announcement. I’ve taken over coordinating the Gay and Lesbian Parents of Utah. It’s a social and support group for LGBTQ parents in, you guessed it, Utah. I’ve started a yahoo group […]

I spent several hours composing a letter to Heather Poe. As I wrote it I got angrier and angrier (not at Heather Poe per se, but at the entire situation) and by the time it was finished I was fuming. I asked Kristin to read the letter before I posted […]
I had the most fantastic introductory post written. Really, it was a thing of beauty. It started off with the sentences: “In June 2005, I was unemployed, overly isolated, incredibly depressed, and expecting a child with my partner, Kristin. I’d been these things for quite a while as we had […]
