Exposing the Hilarity of Gay Parenting

We wanted to hear more about the good, the bad and the funny of being an LGBT parent, so today, we’ve called upon Dan Bucatinsky. He and his husband are the dads of two, a seven-year-old daughter and a four-year-old son. His new book is “Does This Baby Make Me Look Straight? Confessions of a Gay Dad.” He’s also written and produced shows for HBO, Showtime and NBC.

We’re also joined today by Marcus Mabry. You probably know that name if you are a regular reader of the New York Times. He is editor-at-large for the New York Times based in London and he and his partner are the dads of two-year-old twins.

Welcome to you both. Happy belated Father’s Day to you both, by the way. READ MORE + AUDIO

NAACP Board Votes in Support of Same-Sex Marriage

The NAACP made waves on Saturday evening when its board of directors voted to support same-sex marriage, releasing a statement that “civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law” and citing the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as a reason for backing marriage equality.

“The mission of the NAACP has always been to ensure the political, social and economic equality of all people,” said Roslyn M. Brock, chairman of the NAACP’s board of directors, in a statement. “We have and will oppose efforts to codify discrimination into law.”
