I also have many gay and lesbian friends who contend with the issue of zero access to their kids after a breakup. Can I have permission to reprint your letter to Ebony on my site? Thanks, Let Me Parent! p.s. maybe you want to be interviewed for our documentary...? Would be great to have your voice and perspective represented.
