My Big Happy Queer Family

You may recognize the Dürt family: Matthew and his partner Elliot, from the headlines their family story made just a couple of years ago.

Elliot's sister Lea donated her eggs to the couple and Matt's 61-year-old mother, Cecile, carried and delivered their first baby (who is also her first granddaughter!) -- making her one of the oldest women in the world to give birth!


Matt and Elliot are now the proud parents of a little girl named Uma.


As if this wasn't already a very modern family story, the Dürt family is helping another queer family achieve their dreams of parenthood. Matt is the sperm donor for his childhood best friend, MB, and her partner August, who recently transitioned from female to a trans masculine non-binary person.


Today, August and MB call Matt their 'Fairy Godfather', and all know how extraordinary and lucky they are to build their families, considering all of the personal, practical and societal challenges they faced to get there.


On this episode, in honor of Pride 2021, these four friends - now connected for life - show what is possible when families are built from love.
