Joining Sanjay this week is Abby of @abbysrollercoasterlife. She is married to her wife Jamie and they have two daughters. Abby joined the US military in the times of “don’t ask don’t tell” and it was there that she was able to uncover her queerness.
We talk about their life as LGBT parents, how Abby and her wife Jamie met, life being LGBTQ in the military, the intersection between being queer and black, the positive representation that Abby hopes to give in the world even when it isn’t always easy and how her own upbringing influences who she is as a parent.
The Proud Parent Club is the inclusive LGBTQ+ parenting podcast and community hosted by Sanjay Sood-Smith, gay dad through surrogacy with his husband Doug, a.k.a. The Travelling Gays. Subscribe for reminders of each LGBT parenting podcast out weekly and follow on Instagram.
