Most mommies are girls. Most daddies are boys. But lots of parents
are like my Maddy. My Maddy has hazel eyes which are not brown or
green. And my Maddy likes sporks because they are not quite a spoon
or a fork. The best things in the world are not one thing or the
other. They are something in between and entirely their own.
She's another Eleanor Roosevelt. You've got to meet her." - Sam

to experience a pride celebration and share in a day when we are
all united. Also included is a Reading Guide chock-full of facts
about LGBT history and culture, as well as a Note to Parents and

When You Look Out the Window tells the story of Phyllis Lyon and
Del Martin, one of San Francisco's most well-known and politically
active lesbian couples. Describing the view from Phyllis and Del's
window, this book shows how one couple's activism transformed their
community - and had ripple effects throughout the world. Includes a
Reading Guide that provides helpful historical context, and a Note
to Parents, Caregivers, and Educators about the importance of
teaching LGBTQ history and culture to children. This is a unique
way to introduce children to untold stories in history while also
being a clever tribute to two notable women. Age range: 4-8
"There's a story behind every research study." In Backdrop, Gayle
Pitman narrates the "story" behind the science of sexual
orientation - a science that has been rife with contradictions and
controversies. Pitman argues that, when it comes to sexual
orientation research, we could potentially glean more powerful
insights from the backdrop of politics and personalities behind the
research than from the actual studies themselves. Beginning with a
focus on the causes of sexual orientation, moving then to the
politics of transgender and intersex identities, and culminating in
the political controversies of reparative therapy, "don't ask,
don't tell," and same-sex marriage, Backdrop brings into focus the
rich and textured landscape behind the scientific research
findings. Filled with plot twists and developments, variegated
characters (the scientists as well as the activists and
reactionaries), and thorny political, moral, and philosophical
questions, Backdrop brings the science to life, raising more
complex questions while simultaneously providing us with a more
nuanced understanding of gender and sexual orientation.
