S4E5: My LGBTQ+ Family is a Nuclear Family
Episode 5
Friday, 1 May, 2026
I call baloney on anyone who suggests that only a man and woman can lay the foundation for a so-called nuclear family. As someone whose marriage began in the heterosexual sense and morphed into a mixed orientation marriage, we remain more traditional than most. In this episode, my spouse and I chat about the term nuclear family and why it is anti-LGBTQ+ at the core. Mentioned or related to this episode: Advocate: June is Pride Month.
