I think everyone who thinks they want to be a stepparent ought to really talk to people who've actually been there. It can be incredibly painful, and it can be filled with amazing joy. It taught me a lot I have to say. ... You're not a parent but sort of functioning in a parent role. You can't be a friend but you can be a confidant, maybe. So, how do you find that mix? It was a challenge. We’ve done OK. The kids are really doing well and I'm very proud of them.

Additional quotes by Kate Brown

I think the challenge with being bi or pan is that the dominant culture sees this as a choice, and it’s hard to explain to people that this is not a choice. This is who I am and I know that. And so I've had conversations with family members; I've had conversations with supporters that this is who I am and my marital status doesn't change that.
