This was a term that was coined by COLAGE founder Stefan Lynch to describe himself as he was someone who was raised by LGBT parents. Since this is a relatively new term and one that is not universally used by children of LGBT parents, I'm wondering what your opinions are.

I quite like it! I wasn't raised in a GLBT or GLBT-friendly household (in fact, rather quite the opposite), but before I came out as bisexual, this would be the closest thing I'd ever call myself (I used to go by 'queer straight'). Even now, I'm much more attracted men than to women, and most of my queerness is my interest in the GLBT culture, so I think the term is pretty nifty!
I also can understand why people might not want to use it, though, particularly if they don't feel they participate in or identify with being culturally queer, despite their raising.

it's surely a mouthful, but possibly damaging to the bigger cause. It is implying that been raised in a LGBT environment is different than a straight family. Probably not the best tactic in achieving equality in the eyes of the law, although I can see why the distinction is there.

A great argument in the great debate of Nature VS. Nurture.

Frankly I like it. Most children of GLBT families in my circle of friends are straight or bi, my own included. I thing its a good definition.
