Gigi Kaeser, Peggy Gillespie, Kath Weston, April Martin,
Publisher: Amherst, Mass. : University of Massachusetts Press, c1999.
ISBN: 1558491619   DDC: 306.874   LCC: HQ76.13   Edition: (pbk. : alk. paper)

Summary:

"This volume combines interviews and photographs to document the
experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender parents and
their children. It allows all of the family members to speak candidly
about their lives, their relationships, and the ways in which they
have dealt with the pressures of homophobia." "Included in the book
are people from diverse racial, ethnic, and economic backgrounds,
representing a wide range of family structures. Together, they
provide clear evidence that family roles and responsibilities need
not be based on gender, and that children thrive in an atmosphere in
which understanding, respect, and love transcend the prejudices of
the day."--BOOK JACKET.
