What is a family?

The definition of family has undergone a number of changes over the past three decades. Families are comprised of people with diiferent political ideologies, races and religions. But what happens when both parents are of the same sex or one of the children is gay? On the next "Voices in the Family," join Dr. Dan Gottlieb for a discussion on the legal, social and emotional aspects of gay parenting and being the parent of a gay child. Guests will include Kirsten Kingdon, Executive Director of PFLAG and Jon and Michael Galluccio authors of the book "An American Family" detailing their experiences as the first unmarried gay couple to legally adopt a child.
