What are the realities of same-sex parenting today?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about LGBTQ families. At least 270,000 children under the age of 18 are being raised by gay and lesbian couples in the US. But gay parents still face legal, political and economic obstacles that can complicate their families and sometimes put them at serious risk. If you or someone you know is in a family with same-sex parents, what's your experience? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. How are LGBTQ families re-shaping our notion of family? It's Your Call with Holly Kernan and you.

Guests:
Amie Miller, author of She Looks Just Like You
Judy Appel, executive director of OUR Families Coalition
