Same-sex family in Ypsi featured on '30 days' television show

Super Size Me was Morgan Spurlock's first major joint. It catapulted him into the spot light in a few different ways. He ate only McDonalds for a month, gained 30 pounds, and his liver got all jacked up. He's back with a new-er show called "30 Days." Somewhat of a spin-off of his first major work. In the show, a person immerses themselves in a lifestyle they aren't familiar or comfortable with. So, Spurlock brought the show to Ypsi and immersed someone into a same-sex family raising children.

Excerpt:

Dennis Patrick said were asked to be on "30 Days" after the casting director saw an online interview about the family.

"We really had to think about it. Tom was reluctant; he thought it would be a big intrusion into our lives. It's not like it was for a couple of days ... and it involved inviting someone into your home who's against the very thing you are all about. But I talked him into it."

He said theirs was one of several families under consideration.

"After a while, you kind of got used to it," he said of the filming, which involved two producers, a camera operator, a sound man and an assistant producer. "The hard part was talking about gay adoption every day for 30 days. It's a big part of our lives, it's who we are, but it's not something we think about constantly or talk about every single day."
