What to expect
For straight couples, starting a family tends to be straightforward . . . For queer couples, not so much.
But queer families have always existed—even Sappho, the OG lesbian, had a daughter. She named her Cleis, in honor of vaginas everywhere!
Exploring the historic lives of queer parents like Oscar Wilde and the women of 'The Golden Orchid Society'—and guided by her own experience of reciprocal IVF—Kirsty Loehr provides another rollicking guide to the ups and downs of queer parenthood through the ages.
