triple-plus good love

This, just THIS:

Darling daughter Viva Katherine Wainwright Cohen was born on February 2, 2011 in Los Angeles, California to proud parents Lorca Cohen, Rufus Wainwright and Deputy Dad Jorn Weisbrodt. The little angel is evidently healthy, presumably happy and certainly very very beautiful.

Daddy #1 would like to offer everyone a digital cigar and welcome the little lady in with a French phrase from his favorite folk song, A La Claire Fontaine : "Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, jamais je ne t'oublierai."

CORRECTION: In many of the articles announcing the birth of Viva Katherine Wainwright Cohen, Lorca Cohen is characterized as "the surrogate." Of course, she is no such thing. She did not carry the child for someone else. Lorca Cohen is the mother of the baby and Rufus Wainwright is the father.

Our kid isn't out yet (though he is almost ripe!), he has not been unleashed upon the world, but this. Just like this.

(Wainwright is gay according to nndb.com, which usually gets it right. I love that he acknowledges all the parents. His family is different from ours in the gender/sex of one of the parents.)

As if I needed a reason to love Rufus any more than I already did. Yay!

I love how totally no-nonsense his explanation is.

Yes, that was just great. I expected nothing less from him.

(Also, how talented is that child going to be when she grows up?! She's got so much musical genius in her blood!)

[redbird]

Yes.

I have always advocated the "act like it's no big deal, because it isn't" school of outness. Yay!
