When Lori Duron's son began playing with Barbies and girl toys at an early age, the Orange County, Calif. mother of two realized she wouldn't be raising a normal "boy" in the traditional sense of the word. Duron's son, C.J., would instead blossom into what she referred to as a "rainbow child," or a gender-nonconforming boy.
She started a blog, at first writinganonymously, called "Raising My Rainbow: Adventures in Raising a Fabulous, Gender Creative Son" (which is now published as a book of the same name), to chronicle her adventures in raising her son. C.J., now six years old, is described as "the most captivating child you will ever meet with an insane knack for art and color, interior design and dance." C.J.'s dreams include being a make-up artist or hair stylist.
"He's fun. He's a great kid. He's healthy and happy," Duron told the AP in an interview.
