Meri Perra blogs about the challenges she and her partner face in trying to raise their girls with feminist values
Sometimes there’s so much going on, it’s like this blog just writes itself. Take last Saturday morning. Picture me, waking up, stumbling over kids and coffee, and turning on TVO, “just for those 15 minutes of peace with the newspaper.” I read the Globe headline: “7 Habits of Highly Effective Families”. Huh, I thought. What does the Star have to say today? I sipped more coffee, and then glanced at the Globe again. I read: “7 Habits of Highly Effective Lesbian Families.”
Ok. Now you’ve got my attention. I may not be the only lesbian parent who felt a little smug after last Saturday’s Globe and Mail headline, but I seem to be the first to admit it online. Online admission: I felt smug after the Globe told me we’re better parents because we’re gay.
