Gay Family Life in Nevada
If you learn one thing from same-sex parents, it’s that gay and straight families are pretty similar, Mairi Hennessy writes in Reno News & Review. The 2000 census tallied more than 600,000 same-sex U.S. households, 55 percent with children. Conservative Nevada now ranks eighth in the nation in the number of households headed by gay or lesbian couples. Hennessy talks to some of those couples about their trials and triumphs, and the simple joys of raising children.
