blog posts about Robin McGehee, an enthusiastic mom and parent volunteer at Fresno's St. Helen's Catholic School – so committed that the principal recruited her last May to step up as president of the school's Parent-Teacher Organization.

There was one problem: McGehee, a lesbian mom co-parenting with her wife and their children's two involved dads, was active and visible in the No on Prop. 8 campaign, opposing the state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage that was narrowly approved by California voters this month.
