A Short History of Queer Parenting: including my own

A funny, bullshit-free and surprising history Queer families have always existed Even Sappho, the OG lesbian, had a daughter named Cleis, in honour of vaginas everywhere! For centuries, the women of ‘The Golden Orchid Society’ in Qing-dynasty China were getting married and raising daughters together – platonically, obviously... And Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson’s fabulously bisexual open marriage proved women really can have it all – a husband, two kids, a writing career and Viriginia Woolf. Maybe you’re exploring your options. Maybe you don’t want kids but you have questions . Either way, Kirsty Loehr provides another rollicking guide to the ups and downs of queer parenthood through the ages.
