In New Jersey, Saveon (9), Sandor (13) and Ivoire (16), live with their mothers, Rochelle and Pat.

To complicate matters, Saveon and Sandor both have to cope with their father's open disapproval of their mother's sexuality.

In suburban Arizona, Danna, 14, and Ember, 16, were raised in a devout Mormon household until their father, Dwight, came out and their parents divorced. Both girls struggle to reconcile the Mormon church's condemnation of homosexuality and their love for their father, who is currently single, but dating. While Ember has left the church, Danna still attends with their mother Jan, saying, "Often we'll be reading a scripture and it'll mention something about how that's not right and our teachers will talk to us. But for the most part they try to like avoid it around me, 'cause they know it's really hard. I mean, I have my dad and I love my dad and there's no way that I could not love my dad, just because he's a homosexual."

In Greenwich Village, New York City, Ry (17) and Cade (19) live with their mothers, Sandy and Robin, who conceived the girls through donor insemination. Ry describes her attitude about her family: "I wouldn't say that having lesbian parents is an issue in my life but I wonder, will it ever just be nothing? You know, where on a form it doesn't say mother/father and it is kind of like I wait for that day." Cade has just come out as a lesbian and sometimes clashes with her mothers over short haircut and freedom rings. The family also describes their recent victory in a four-year legal battle against Ry's donor who sued for declaration of paternity and shared custody.

In rural Arkansas, Ryan (15) and Cary (23) live with their mothers who were married in a commitment ceremony five years ago. In their small, Bible Belt town, there was a backlash against Ryan when she told classmates about the wedding. After two years of teasing and physical abuse, Ryan's mothers decided to home school her. Says Cary, "It's just another thing for kids to pick on each other about. You know they do it. Give them another reason, It's just gonna make it that much worse."
