Thanks so much for coming by to check out Episode 243 of The New Family Podcast, where we talk to a woman who grew up with two moms.
We’re back to exploring family in its many forms with this episode, where we’re joined by Emily McGranachan, who talk to us about growing up with two moms! Emily’s professional life has also been shaped by her upbringing. She’s director of family engagement for the Family Equality Council, the national organization in the U.S. dedicated to the equality of LGBTQ people and their families, as well as those who wish to form families. And she’s the host of the Council’s great podcast, Outspoken Voices.

What Emily still hopes to see for LGBTQ families
“What I see and hear in the families with younger children that I interact with, the level of acceptance and affirmation of families at the doctor’s office, at school, in law, is different here than in other parts of the country. It’s also different (here), depending on the town you’re in, your socio-economic status, your race ethnicity, there’s a lot of things that contribute to the societal and social structures around you that are either affirming and celebratory, recognizing your family, and protecting your family, or not. One thing I want for more LGBTQ families is, statistically, there are more LGBTQ people raising children and families in states in the south and the midwest, states that do not have as many legal protections and social acceptance as other places in the country. So those families need those laws.”

I intended to draft you that little word to be able to thank you so much once again for your personal extraordinary methods you’ve discussed here. This is quite remarkably open-handed with you to present without restraint all a lot of people might have offered for sale as an e book to help with making some dough on their own, even more so since you might have done it if you wanted. The suggestions as well served to be a good way to fully grasp some people have the same dreams the same as my personal own to find out a good deal more in respect of this matter. I am sure there are some more enjoyable times in the future for individuals that look into your website.
