The second generation of LGBTQ parenting | QNotes Gay Charlotte ...
In the last two days, I?ve received phone calls from three different casting agents who are ?looking for LGBT parents with a unique parenting style. We are starting a new reality-show cable series. Are you a spoiler? An authoritarian? Permissive? Free range? Unschooler? Or, have a style that is all your own? We?re looking for moms and dads with unique perspectives on parenting for a new series on a top-rated national cable network? (read ?Bravo,? ?TLC,? and ?MTV?). They contacted me because of my writings on gay parenting and LGBTQ advocacy, both through my blogs and this column in qnotes. Initially, the inquirer wants to know the age of my children (both are over 20 years old) and whether or not the children are living at home. Because both children are now young adults and are no longer living at home, the inquirer then wants to know if I know any unique lesbian or gay couple who are parenting children under the age of 18 years old and living at home. I take down their phone number and email addresses politely, but that?s where it usually stops. All the lesbian and gay couples I know are not willing to place their families under the constant glare of klieg lights for a reality show that produces an Andy Warhol-type ?15 minutes of fame? motif that may leave the family destroyed after the fame is over and the darker side of the family exposed for the world to witness.
As I write this column, I smile at this sudden rush of attention on our families and the safety of identifying our families as ?unique.? When I told my immediate and extended family members that I was gay 18 years ago, my daughter was seven and my son was three. It was news not to be shared widely, but only shared among those whom I loved. It was news to be kept within and among a small cadre of people I trusted. Around me, there were no television shows with gay dads on any of the main channels, just the fabulous life of ?Queer Eye for the Straight Guy? and ?Queer as Folk? on cable channels. There was no ?Modern Family? or the now defunct ?The New Normal,? with storylines involving gay dads who only kiss and never have sex. There was an episode on ?Will and Grace? in which the characters of Jack and Will took care of one of their gay friends? children, showing how inept gay men were supposed to be at raising children (even the children?s gay dads on ?Will and Grace? were constantly bickering). No one was calling me with a possibility of being on a reality television show. Our kind of family was to be ?seen and not heard? from. We were the first generation of out LGBTQ parents.
Times change. Attitudes are changing. The second generation of LGBTQ parents is now the focus of society?s attention. They are the new darlings of the media?s attention. It is wonderful to see that who?s was once ?new? and a ?threat? to society?s ?ideal? of being family is slowly becoming part of the American mainstream way of being family. : :

Netflix starts rolling out profiles to iOS, Apple TV, other platforms
?
PS3, Xbox 360 following in near future
Netflix has begun wider deployment of the multi-user profiles that started hitting the Apple TV earlier this week. On top of the Apple TV, the feature is now rolling out to iPhone, iPod, and iPad users "over the next few days," according to Netflix. In the near future, the company is also planning to bring profiles to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and newer-model connected TVs and Blu-ray players. Android and Wii users are only expected to get the option "soon."
The profiles let Netflix subscribers identify up to five separate users per account. Each profile gets its own recommendation, Instant Queue, and Recently Watched lists, preventing one person's viewing habits from impacting others. Kids, for example, can have profiles separate from their parents.
Profiles can also be linked to separate Facebook accounts. If Facebook sharing is turned on, a person will get recommendations based on their own social circles.

Economy added 200,000 jobs in July
Goods-producing industries added 22,000 jobs in July, according to ?a new report, and construction payrolls also rose by 22,000 while manufacturing payrolls declined by 5,000.?
Private-sector employment increased by 200,000 jobs from June to July, according to the ADP National Employment Report.
Goods-producing industries added 22,000 jobs in July, according to the report, and construction payrolls also rose by 22,000 while manufacturing payrolls declined by 5,000.
Service-providing industries added 177,000 jobs in July, the largest gain since last November, according to a news release issued by ADP. Gains were broad-based across industries, with professional/business services adding 49,000 jobs over the month. Trade/transportation/utilities services contributed 45,000 jobs, while financial activities gained 4,000 jobs.
June's job gain was revised upward from 188,000 to 198,000.
"The U.S. private sector added a total of 200,000 jobs during the month of July, with businesses of all sizes contributing to the overall gain and small businesses generating the greatest share, just as they did in the previous month," said Carlos Rodriguez, president and chief executive officer of ADP in a statement. "Among industries tracked by the ADP National Employment Report, professional/business services showed the largest increase in July with the addition of 49,000 jobs, while construction added 22,000 jobs, a stronger gain than in June."
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, which works on the report with ADP, said, "Job growth remains remarkably stable. Businesses are adding to payrolls in most industries and across all company sizes. The job market has admirably weathered the fiscal headwinds, tax increases and government spending cuts. This bodes well for the next year when those headwinds are set to fade."
ADP, which provides management services, derives the report from its payroll data and measures the change in total nonfarm private employment each month on a seasonally-adjusted basis.

Shadowgun: Deadzone arrives on PC and Facebook
Madfinger Games, developers of popular mobile games such as Shadowgun and Dead Trigger, have released a PC port of their Shadowgun: Deadzone game, as well as a Facebook version.
The PC works like any other Windows game. You download the installer, run it, create an account or log into an existing one and you are ready to play the game, except this time on a large high resolution monitor with a keyboard and mouse. The latter especially makes a big difference and makes shooting down enemies a lot easier. It also gives you almost an unfair advantage over other players, most of whom are playing on iOS and Android devices.
The visuals of the game look good on smartphones but not that great on a PC, even at 1080p resolution. The textures look a bit bland and the anti-aliasing is not that great. The menus icons especially look extremely low res and probably picked from the smartphone version.
There is a Facebook version as well that plays within your browser, provided one you have that supports 3D gaming with GPU acceleration.
The addition of PC and Facebook support opens it up to a lot more players, which is what a multiplayer game really needs. Deadzone is a reasonably fun game and since it is free as well it?s well worth a try. You can easily sink several minutes into it without having spent a single dime on it. A Mac version of the game is expected to arrive shortly on the Mac App Store.
