Sometimes, a lesbian mom is just a mom. Most of us here know that, but it is rare that a media depiction portrays us that way.

ER, however, last night featured a lesbian mom and her spouse who could have been any other patient and significant other. There was no "lesbian" storyline per se, no denial of visitation rights to the spouse or sperm donor claiming rights over their child. It was wonderful in its normalcy. (—at least if you count the little reindeer bunting they had their infant in as normal. Despite my last name, I'm a little iffy on the trend of dressing up our children and our house pets as antlered creatures.)
