Save the date: It’s that time of year again! One month from now, on Monday, June 1, I will be hosting the 4th Annual Blogging for LGBT Families Day.
I chose the date not only because it is the start of Pride Month, but also because it sits almost directly between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, honoring both while acknowledging that not all families fit the traditional model.
I am also very pleased to announce that the Family Equality Council will once again be sponsoring the event, and has donated a free Family Registration to Family Week 2009 in Provincetown. I will give this away to one randomly selected participant.
Here’s how it works:
- Blog on a topic related to LGBT families on or before June 1, 2009.
- Complete the form at the bottom of this post to submit 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.
- To be eligible for the Family Week drawing, you must leave a valid e-mail address. Employees of FEC and paying advertisers on Mombian are ineligible.
Any blogger who wants to support LGBT families is welcome, LGBT or not, parent or not. I encourage those who don’t usually post about LGBT families or LGBT issues, as well as those for whom every day is Blogging for LGBT Families Day. Give it a spin based on your usual blog topics. There’s no set formula or format. Photos and videos are also welcome.
The list of last year’s contributions is still online for your perusal.
Please also download a banner and promote the event on your site, Facebook, Twitter, etc. The more people who participate, the more impact our voices will have.
