The Gay Parenting Show # 13 – Speak Out for Your Family! (MP3 – 15.8MB – 45min)

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST HERE

December 4, 2005: Whether you’ve got a big mouth (like me) or are the shy, retiring type, its time for you to speak out for our families!

Luckily, the Family Pride Coalition will show you how, by empowering you through their OutSpoken Families campaign. On today’s show, I talk to Family Pride’s Executive Director Jennifer Chrisler about their new project that helps us speak out against prejudice and for a better world for our children.

Jen tell us that 51% of us don’t talk to our families and friends about our lives! Let’s get on the ball, people! The only way we’ll ever make progress is if we make allies out of the people in our lives! But they advocate for us if they don’t know the barriers we face.

In addition to getting to hear Jen’s expertise, you’ll also hear the unbelievably unprofessional interruption she has to suffer when I get a call from daycare during our interview. Bet that never happens to the guests on the Larry King Show. Yes, this is truly citizen media, warts and all.

I also give you some updates on our family, our foster child, and my partner’s new job with the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).

I even tell you how to score some free formula for your baby. That’s a good deal because that stuff is expensive!

Thanks as always to Motorola for their sponsorship and to Skylook for the software I use to record my interviews.

And thank you for joining us! Please be sure to send me or post your feedback. Enjoy the show! Like Natalie Cole says, I live for your love.
