Box 149001,Anchorage,AK,99514-9001 (Fax 907-258-2157) (E-MAIL: letters@pop.adn.com)(http://www.adn.com/) FEATURES: Extraordinary family album Photo exhibit aims to shatter myths about gay and lesbian life By DONNA FREEDMAN Daily News reporter At first glance, they are pictures of families. A new mother cradles her infant. A police-sergeant dad poses with his young daughter. A couple of dozen people mug happily at a family reunion. Yet the photo captions are revealing. The extra guy in a photo is Daddy's lover. The two women aren't sisters, but life partners. The man gently cuddling a baby is actually a "transgendered" woman. These are not ordinary families. And yet they are ordinary, say the organizers of "Love Makes a Family: Living in Lesbian and Gay Families," an exhibit of photographs on display in Anchorage. [Deleted part. filemanager@qrd.org] "LOVE MAKES A FAMILY: LIVING IN LESBIAN AND GAY FAMILIES," a photo exhibit, will be on display through June 25 at Side Street Espresso, 412 G St. Hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. A free slide show and panel discussion about the exhibit and same-sex marriages takes place at 7 p.m. Friday at Loussac Library. The public is invited.
