Do you know any lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered grandparents?
I am 35 years old and I can say that yes, I know a lesbian couple who basically raised a son together and became grandparents today. Two grandmothers! How fucking cool is that? Their grandson has three grandmothers - Her mom & his two "moms." Did I ever even for a second think that I would ever (in my lifetime?!) know an out lesbian grandmother couple?! NOT!!! I am sure there are many people whom we now know were gay or bisexual, but at the time they became grandparents, the chances are, they weren't out - not to their families, not to their kids & certainly not to their grandkids. People don't realize what an impact coming out makes these days. No one really understands what it means... We are a part of history!! At some point, everyone will know lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgendered GRANDPARENTS!! Even these specific grandmothers themselves do not know any grandparents who aren't straight. This is fucking HISTORY. & we are living it now!! What a wonderful time to be a lesbian! Thank you to all of you who have come out!

Oh & to Timothy's dad & mom too - Ricky & Michelle!
