In honor of the convergence of Father's Day and LGBTQ Pride Month, on this episode we'll be talking about gay fathers and LGBTQ parents in general.

And, whose last name does the child take? These are just some of the issues that—in addition to the many joys of being a parent—we'll discuss today. Host David B.
