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

What are the biggest environmental threats to children?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Sandra Steingraber, author of Raising Elijah: Protecting Children in an Age of Environmental Crisis. She says "our children face an environment more threatening to their health than any generation in history." She focuses on everyday hazards in our lives and explores the connections between parenting and policy-making. How do we relate environmental crisis to family life? And what are some solutions? Join us at 10 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
