My Two Moms

Cincinatti Reds relief pitcher Joe Valentine revealed that he was raised by lesbian moms in an April 10, 2005 article in NY Newsday.

Quote from the article:
"It's no different than having a mother and father," he said. "These are the two women who raised me, and they are wonderful people. It's just not a big deal to me. Why should it be?"

"I don't see myself as an activist for gay rights, although I will speak up if I need to," Valentine said. "I think people need to judge others for who they are. Not by any prejudiced ideas or thoughts. I'm a baseball player who was raised by two wonderful, loving mothers. How can anyone criticize that?"
