A story every LGBTQ parent MUST read

It all started early morning on August 13, 2007 when after treating Josh with all the available asthma medicine at home and consulting with his physician I got him ready to go to the hospital. I packed his pajamas, a few story books, paper with crayons, some toys, the medical insurance ID card and all of his medical records and drugs that I had administered. As Joshua’s other dad, Andy (my “husband” for almost 22 years) was also coming with us to the hospital, I ran back to get Josh’s birth certificate. I thought with that extra document no one would question having both of Josh’s dads in the emergency room. (Joshua’s birth certificate lists both of us as his parents).

The questions the nurse asked me might have been acceptable if they were asked to a single other parent at that hospital. After asking other parents at the hospital if they were asked to prove parental rights, I found out we were the only family singled out.
