Reviews"This is a wonderful book. You will love it, you will weep at times. It is an incredible demonstration of the power of real values." -- Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show "He lit up the Internet when he delivered a passionate plea to the Iowa House of Representatives in support of gay marriage. Take a look at him... a hero." -- Ellen DeGeneres, host of Ellen "He takes on every argument against marriage equality and calmly topples them. My Two Moms augurs Zach Wahls' inevitable career in politics. America will be the better for it." -- Chronogram "Wahls has a fresh voice." -- Publishers Weekly "Wahls writes an inspirational book about the power of family and love, no matter what form it takes. If this kid is any indication of future generations...we are in very good hands." -- Modern Tonic "His story is probably one of the most convincing arguments for why gay and lesbian families matter. The movement is lucky to have Wahls - who's both smart and sensitive - as one of its newest role models." -- Philadelphia Magazine's "G Philly" Blog "This is a wonderful book.

SynopsisA resounding testament to individuality and the power of family in all forms from the young man who "lit up the Internet" (Ellen DeGeneres) On January 31, 2011, Zach Wahls addressed the Iowa House Judiciary Committee in a public forum regarding full marriage equality. The nineteen-year-old son of a same-sex couple, Wahls proudly proclaimed, "The sexual orientation of my parents has had zero effect on the content of my character." Hours later, his speech was posted on YouTube, where it went viral, quickly receiving more than two million views. By the end of the week, everyone knew his name and wanted to hear more from the boy with two moms. Same-sex marriage will be a major--possibly the defining--issue in this year's election cycle, and Wahls speaks to that, but also to a broader issue. Sure, he's handsome and athletic, an environmental engineering student, and an Eagle Scout. Yet, growing up with two moms, he knows what it's like to feel different and to fear being made fun of 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 who's ever felt like an outsider: "You are not alone."

Excellent read!
Honestly written by a young man raised by a lesbian couple. He makes the point that you simply don't have to live with a dad to grow up to be a successful man.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
