Pictures catch Zack at home, at school, at the Gay Pride Parade in New York City, and with his dad and his dad's other family. Zack mentions how he feels when he hears "bad stuff about gays" at school and how he's handled a few uncomfortable situations ("One day, one of my friends used the word `faggot'" ), but that's a very small part of this cheerful, rather slick portrait of family life."

Ranging from humorous to poignant, the essays touch on some of the most important and complicated issues facing them: dealing with a parent's sexuality while developing an identity of one's own; overcoming homophobia at school and at family or social gatherings; and defining the modern family. In a time when traditional family structure has undergone radical change, Out of the Ordinary is an important look at the meaning of love, family, and relationships, and will speak to anyone who has lived or is interested in non-traditional families. With a foreword by Margarethe Cammermeyer, Ph.D., author of Serving in Silence, and a preface by columnist and author Dan Savage, Out of the Ordinary also includes a resource guide of organizations that offer support for the hundreds of thousands of gay, lesbian, and transgender parents and their children. As the demographic increases, this book becomes an invaluable tool for learning, understanding, and acceptance." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:
