The Queer Parent's Primer helps make the endeavor a positive, productive one. Through examples and interactive exercises, author Stephanie Brill encourages a proactive approach, with concrete suggestions on how to present the alternative family in public and private arenas and how to help children of these new unions resist gender stereotyping. Topics include creating a healthy family, coming out for good, finding culturally sensitive childcare and schools, and making decisions about spirituality and family celebrations. Also covered are single parenting, breaking up, and the legal aspects of protecting these special families. 1509620 2 3 2001 The Queer Parent's Primer: A Lesbian and Gay Families' Guide to Navigating Through a Straight World total:3|5:1|4:2| 3 13 7 0 0 0 false false Wed Oct 28 18:54:20 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 18:54:20 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Sep 16 22:59:31 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 22:59:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 08 12:59:54 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 12:59:58 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Tue May 20 20:49:17 -0700 2008 Tue May 20 20:49:17 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Apr 30 09:30:42 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 14:01:20 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Feb 24 15:02:59 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 24 15:03:05 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Feb 09 13:55:35 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 09 13:55:38 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1517866
