Video: Zach Wahls discusses his two moms, ‘lessons of love’

NEW YORK — In The Life Media celebrates Mother’s Day with the release of “My Two Moms,” a web short video featuring Zack Wahls, the son of lesbian moms whose passionate speech to the Iowa House of Representatives in support of marriage equality went viral on YouTube, capturing the attention of the country.

Wahls joins In The Life Media to discuss his experience as a child of two moms, how he’s adjusting to life in the spotlight, and his new book, “My Two Moms: Lessons of Love, Strength and What Makes a Family.”

“My hope for the book is to show people that this is just a portrait of another American family,” says Wahls, “that is just as valid as any other American family.”

On Wednesday, May 16, In The Life Media will host an hour-long online forum bginning at 2:30 p.m. ET, for LGBT parents and their children.

The panel will include Wahls, Equality Florida Executive Director and mom Nadine Smith, Mombian Editor Dana Rudolph and Dr. Abbie Goldberg, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Clark University and author of the book, “Lesbian and Gay Parents and Their Children.”
