Australian Woman No Longer Dad's Girlfriend, Now She Lives With Him and New Fiance

When I first read about Jenny Deaves and her father/lover earlier this year on Strollerderby, I had to take a long shower. When Madeline wrote about her, the Australian woman was living with her father and . . . no way to sugarcoat this . . . having sex with him. Willingly. "Lovingly."

Don't think it can get any worse? Just wait.

The Australian has reported Deaves has kicked dear old dad John to the curb, and she's engaged to another (not related - that we know of) man. Oh, but she and Shayne Farrell, a thirty-four-year-old bisexual father of three she met just ten weeks ago, are still living with John. Also in the house? Jenny and John's daughter, the youngest of her three children and the only produced by their incestuous relationship.

The Deaves reportedly split in July - not long after their story hit TV and they were banned by the courts from having sex with one another (who monitored that one, I wonder, and how? Don't tell me, I don't want to think about it). John became self-destructive. Or should we say MORE self-destructive? He started drinking and attempted suicide. Now he's seeking treatment, and Farrell says he doesn't have a problem jumping into his future father-in-law's bed. No problem living with his fiancee's former lover either.

Glad to hear Jenny Deaves has stopped shaking down the family tree for suitors. Or is she? I hate to be the bearer of weird tidings, but let's take a step back here. Court says no more sex with Dad, so she goes out and finds someone who likes having sex with women . . . and men. Then she brings him home. Anyone else wondering if three's company in the Deaves family? Wait a minute, don't tell me the answer to that one either.

Parent Blogosphere Focus: Meet the GLBT Parents (Part 1)

Here at Strollerderby, we strive to highlight the great writing done by parenting bloggers far and wide. As a bisexual dad myself, I have a special interest in calling out my peeps in the GLBT community, who face the burden of parenting in a culture that is often hostile to their family's very existence. In the following series of posts, I'll point out some of the best blogs written by gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered parents that you may or may not be reading. Many of these blogs are about parenting, but some aren't; the key factor is that they discuss some facet of the world from a GLBT parent's perspective.

By way of Pirate Papa I found Guy Dads, two gay fathers who are raising six kids. (I would say "HOLY SHIT!" with as many exclamation points as my text editor allows, but having six kids total myself, I'm in no position to talk.) Check out this post from author Another Gay Dad about the War on Christmas, and how he feels about "coming out" to others during the Christian high holidays as a convert to Reformed Judaism.

One blog that everybody insisted I must read is The Other Mother, written by Robin Reagler, which subtitles itself "letters from the outposts of lesbian parenting". Robin and her partner have two girls who are the definition of "adorable". Here's Robin talking about how glad she and her partner are to know that their child didn't inherit Kelsey Grammar's hair line. For a mile-high view of what Other Mother and her family are all about, check out her review of 2006, culled by copying the first paragraph from the beginning of each month of her archives.

Finally (for now), The Hygiene Chronicles is a must read. The author Steve lives in the Washington D.C. area with his partner of 15 years and their 4 year old son. How good is Steve? He has me thinking that I should moisturize my face. Plus, his top 10 albums from 1985 to 1989 show he has, if not impeccable, then at least excusable taste in music.

Needless to say, I haven't even sucked the tip of the iceberg with this roundup. Stay tuned for more!
