My (same-sex) spouse and I, and our kids, have been members of Adat Shalom for the past few years and have been really happy there. Reconstructionist Judaism is a perfect fit for us - all the ritual of a conservative practice with progressive politics and an intellectual rather than faith based approach to scripture. We have become very close with other LGBT families who are also members.
