Lesbian and gay family events are not always comfortable spaces for me and my fam.

That's partly because some folks don't know what to make of my genderqueer sweetie, with her man-chest and her female pronouns. It's partly because the "same-gender parenting" paradigm may or may not describe us, depending on the situation, our moods, and the alignment of the planets. But it's mostly because there aren't always other trans parents and partners at gay family events, and the programming doesn't always reflect our interests and needs.
