Making Love Visible: In Celebration of Gay and Lesbian Families

by Jean Swallow, Geoff Manasse

This book by the award-winning team of photographer Geoff Manasse and writer Jean Swallow, portrays a new kind of family formed by gays and lesbians. The authors travelled all over America, talking with gay men and lesbians, those with children and without, young and old, with mixed families and blended families, broken and healed families. In a photojournalistic style, you are introduced to people through family life events, including birth and a birthday celebration, Granny visiting, a wedding, working together, a retirement dinner, quiet moments at home, Christmas at home, getting ready for a dinner for friends, preparing for death and living through mourning.
