"More than all the religious and political anti-gay rhetoric, Brett Mitchell's splendid book reveals the true meaning of the phrase ‘family values.'" -Richard Rodriguez
"Brett Webb-Mitchell's latest book is a treasure. Filled with insight, humor, and candor, it is a must read for gay parents, actually all parents and families. The spiritual journey of coming out in the midst of being a loving parent tells a new and important story for pastors and faith communities seeking to care for all families. This book is a delightful reminder that it is love that makes a family." -Michael J. Adee, National Field Organizer for More Light Presbyterians, part of the National LGBT Equality Network
"Brett Webb-Mitchell is gay, a parent, and a person of faith. If you fit in one of those categories, or know someone who does, this will be a very helpful book. On Being a Gay Parent is honest, practical, and an enjoyable read." -Jack Rogers, Professor of Theology, Emeritus, San Francisco Theological Seminary, author of Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality: Explode the Myths, Heal the Church
