About Boyhood Reimagined: Stories of Queer Moms Raising Sons
In 2025, a family with two moms and a son might seem quite usual to many. However, with a Republican majority in government, the surge of Christian nationalism, and an ultra-conservative Supreme Court, queer moms encounter continuous and intensifying challenges. The personal essays in Boyhood Reimagined delve into questions around parenting and feminism during a period when traditional male dominance still influences social norms, restricts opportunities for women and non-binary individuals, and shapes political and economic power structures. Do queer moms employing feminist parenting strategies raise sons with a constructive relationship with gender and masculinity? Are their sons shielded from a culture of misogyny? What invaluable insights can queer moms impart to other progressive parents?
