GAYBY BOOM

n.

A sharp increase in the number of gay parents, which includes lesbians having babies and same-sex couples adopting children.

"The trend of gays and lesbians becoming parents has even been dubbed the'gayby' boomin recent articles about the subject."

— Catherine Gilfether, "Homeosexual parents redefine images of family,"The Plain Dealer, December 2, 1995

"But gay leaders have also begun fighting for a slate of family rights including social security, medical benefits, inheritance, child custody and even gay marriage.For a growing number of homosexual men and women, such family concerns are a day-to-day reality: a new generation of gay parents has produced the first-ever 'gayby boom."

— Eloise Salholz, "The Future of Gay America,"Newsweek, March 12, 1990
