What is a family? Is it something defined by law, tradition or love? For
the growing number of gay and lesbian families in America, the answer is
definitely love. However, too often parents and children in such families are
stigmatized, unable to participate in many of the simple public joys that most
families take for granted. Parents of four, Rosie and Kelli O'Donnell dreamed of
a society free of such discrimination. In 2004, they made that dream come true
when 1,500 people -- gay, lesbian and straight, young and old -- set sail
on an historic seven-day cruise to the Caribbean on one of the largest cruise
ships in the world. In the process, these families found an oasis where they
could celebrate their individuality and shared ideals in a safe and supportive
environment.
