| Summary Note |
"At a time when the world is questioning same-sex attracted families, Gayby Baby takes us into the homes and personal dramas of four kids approaching puberty under the guidance of gay and lesbian parents. In his all-female household, Gus strives to work out what it means to be a man; Ebony struggles to find her voice as a singer and a place where her gay family will be accepted; Matt questions how the God his lesbian mums worship can also damn them to hell; and Graham's desire to read and win the approval of his dads is complicated by a move to Fiji, where homosexuality is frowned upon."--Container. |
