Google Family

This is a screen shot of what came up when we searched Google for "family."  While there are some families of different race, and there appears to be a few single parents in there, most of what came up were 'nuclear families'.  One mom, one dad, two to three kids, and possibly a dog in there somewhere.  There are few interracial families, and NO same sex families.  Our hope, through this project, is to prove that increased presence in the media does increase levels of acceptance of diverse families, and that if we increase the presence of diversity in families on TV, we may see a very different, and more diverse result when we put in the same search 5-10 years from now.
