A New Year's Baby With an Additional Difference: 2 Moms (washingtonpost.com)

DC's first baby was to a lesbian couple.

"Can we get a picture of the baby with its mother?" someone from the media pack asked.

"Sure -- which mother would you like?" Bare responded.

"She has a traditional family," said Howard Rubin, proud grandfather. "There are grandparents on both sides. . . . Their decision to have a child was a great boost for us. We just consider ourselves to be grandparents just as much as our friends who have grandchildren."

When it was getting close to midnight, people were talking about it," Rubin said. "But I really hoped it wouldn't take that long. It just so happened that it did."

Someone at the National Review was saying that the first child born in DC was to lesbians and the first in New York was to a black single mother - conservatives were losing the cultural war.
