It’s all in the family

Posted on April 24, 2014 By Bruce Gillespie

There’s a great write-up of A Family by Any Other Name in the Brantford Expositor by Michelle Ruby, which you can read here.

It includes this great quote from contributor Ellen Russell:

Everyone likely needs a little nudge to realize that we all have the potential to be deeply connected with each other. One lovely aspect of these stories is that they illustrate the ways people can connect across all kind of differences. I think that this is hopeful for everyone.

One of the gifts of queer folk is that they have lots of practice overcoming limiting perceptions about how families are ‘supposed to’ work.

I think this inspires everyone to explore new ways of being connected with one another.
