Have you ever heard of the term nuclear family? The term was coined by an anthropologist in the 1920s to describe the family structure of a straight married couple and their kids.

Well now over a century later, only about 18% of Americans live in a family by that definition.

That means that over 82% of Americans represent different kinds of family.

From this is actually happening comes the 82%

modern stories of love and family. A special six-part series focused on those who have

broken away from the norm and challenged society's notions of what a family can be.

From an asexual educator and an activist raising a child with two other co-parents to a gay man

and the clergy who chose the path of celibacy and created a unique family unit

with his straight best friend. Each episode offers an intimate first-person

perspective from those whose family lives have taken different shapes.
