My Two Moms - Lessons of Love, Strength, and What Makes a Family (Paperback)


A resounding testament to the power of family and a reassurance that there is no wrong way to be who you are It has been almost two years since Zach Wahls (then 19 years old) bravely stood up in front of the Iowa House of Representative and defended gay marriage and his family. Wahls proudly proclaimed, "The sexual orientation of my parents has had zero effect on the content of my character," and his speech instantly went viral and became YouTubes #1 political video of 2011. In "My Two Moms," Zach offers a stirring and brave defense of his family. Raised by two moms in a conservative Midwestern town, Zachs parents instilled in him values that families everywhere can embrace--values driven home by his journey toward becoming an Eagle Scout. Zachs upbringing couldnt have been more mainstream--he played sports, was active in Boy Scouts, and led his high school speech and debate team--yet, growing up with two moms, he knows that its like to feel different and fear being bullied, or worse. In the inspirational spirit of "It Gets Better" edited by Dan Savage and Terry Miller, "My Two Moms" also delivers a reassuring message to same-sex couples, their kids, and anyone whos ever felt like an outsider: "You are not alone."
