Our community is helping to redefine the traditional family, creating a “new normal” in which same-sex couples with kids, and all kinds of family structures, are no longer unusual. So Queerty is partnering with NBC’s new fall sitcom, The New Normal, to give you a forum to describe how you are changing the world for the better, whether it’s with an adopted family of your softball team, raising kids with your partner, or even going it solo.
