Blogging for LGBT Families Day Is Tomorrow

A reminder to all that Blogging for LGBT Families Day is tomorrow, June 1. People are already sending me links to their posts, though others are waiting until the actual day.

With Mary Cheney bringing LGBT families into the media over the past week, we have a great opportunity here to be part of the conversation, and to show the diversity of LGBT families and our supporters.

If you usually blog about LGBT families, you can write something special or simply send me a link to whatever you would normally post—a “slice of life” about your family is just as good as a political excursus.

If you often write about LGBT issues, but not necessarily families, please consider focusing on a family angle tomorrow.

If you don’t often write about LGBT issues of any sort, I hope you will make an exception and share why you think it is important to support LGBT families.

Past posts on relevant topics are fine, too. (You might then want to put up a new post on your own blog mentioning your participation and linking back to your original post.)

Videos and photos are also great. (There’s one video entry already.)

Once again, here’s how it works:

• Blog on a topic related to LGBT families on or before June 1, 2007.
• Leave a comment on this post, or send an e-mail to lgbtfamilies@mombian.com with the permalink to your post. (If you know how, you may also add the tag “blogging for lgbt families day” to your entry.)
• I’ll compile the posts and highlight them here on June 1. Come back and read the stories and insights of our community and allies.

Many thanks to those of you who have promoted the event, and to Family Pride for their sponsorship. I’m looking forward to a great day.
