Every family has a rainbow sheep! These are some of their stories. The premiere publication in Qommunicate Media’s LGBTQ+ True Stories Anthology Series features stories and poems by children of gay dads and lesbian moms, transgender fathers and children, queer aunts and uncles, and others about life in their families — all ’straight‘ from the rainbow sheeps‘ mouths.
