Turning hits into hits: Anti-gay attacks are like gay literature's Oprah
Want the best recommendations for LGBT-inclusive children's book?

Yesterday, I posted a recent column in which I reviewed several new books and films for and about LGBT families. It turns out the conservative Massachusetts Family Institute, which took the lead fighting against marriage equality here in the Bay State, didn’t like it so much—or maybe they did.

Thanks, Jeremy!
And a note for your readers who may have an interest: I should also put in a good word for Sarah Brannen's Uncle Bobby's Wedding, which I didn't include in my latest article only because I'd included it in a previous such compilation.

The great thing about it is that it's not "about" being gay; it's about a little girl wondering if her favorite uncle will still have time for her after he gets married. It's a universal theme that just happens to have gay protagonists.
