Raising My
Rainbow is Lori Duron’s frank, heartfelt, and brutally funny account of her and
her family's adventures of distress and happiness raising a gender-creative
son. Whereas her older son, Chase, is a Lego-loving, sports-playing boy's boy,
her younger son, C.J., would much rather twirl around in a pink sparkly tutu,
with a Disney Princess in each hand while singing Lady Gaga's
"Paparazzi."
C.J. is gender variant or gender
nonconforming, whichever you prefer. Whatever the term, Lori has a boy who
likes girl stuff—really likes girl stuff. He floats on the gender-variation spectrum
from super-macho-masculine on the left all the way to super-girly-feminine on
the right. He's not all pink and not all blue. He's a muddled mess or a rainbow
creation. Lori and her family choose to see the rainbow.
Written in Lori's uniquely witty and warm
voice and launched by her incredibly popular blog of the same name, Raising My
Rainbow is the unforgettable story of her wonderful family as they navigate the
often challenging but never dull privilege of raising a slightly effeminate,
possibly gay, totally fabulous son.
