The Hats Podcast


May 10, 2023

Welcome to the Focus on the Family Series! In the next few episodes, we will explore the ins and outs of family life - how they start, how they grow, what shape they take, etc. The notion of the nuclear family is so yesterday! Listen to each episode and see which elements of family resonate with you, which could not be more different, and which spark some intrigue! This week: LGBTQ-led households.

Hollywood depicts traditional families as having a mom, dad, 2.5 kids, a dog and a house with a picket fence. Today, we know the reality is that some families have two dads, two moms, a transgender parent or any other combination commonly found in LGBTQ-Led households. Co-hosts Melissa and Kerri were thrilled to welcome back past guest expert Thomas J. Pier, LCSW (if you have not listend to The End of Life Hat, it is a MUST!) to discuss another of the hats he wears - husband to his spouse and dad of his transracial adopted children. Listen to him share their family story, one that will resonate with every type of family. In this episode, we answer these questions:

  • What are some of the struggles LGBTQ-led households face when having children?
  • How do you respond to questions from children about why their family looks different than other families?
  • What are some common misconceptions about LGBTQ-led households?
