It’s Blogging for LGBTQ Families Day! Below is the master list of contributed posts, which I will keep updated throughout the day. Please come back to check the list for new additions you haven’t read!
It’s almost here! Blogging for LGBTQ Families Day is this coming Monday, June 2. Join bloggers from all types of families, LGBT and allied, in posting in support and celebration of LGBT families.
Posts are already rolling in to celebrate Blogging for LGBTQ Families Day this coming Monday — and while you’re welcome to wait until June 2, I imagine many of you are already thinking about what to post. Here are 15 ideas to inspire you.
The Ninth Annual Blogging for LGBTQ Families Day is coming up on Monday, June 2. Please help spread the word to friends, family, colleagues, and anyone else you know who might be interested! The more who participate, the more perspectives we’ll share, and the more visibility we’ll gain for our families. How can you help? Read on for answers to that and other common questions.
Live in the Boston area? Visiting Boston? Want to take a road trip to Boston? Come join other LGBTQ families on Sunday, June 1, from 2 to 4 p.m. for an LGBTQ Families Celebration at the Residence Inn – Back Bay/Fenway!
Yes, it’s that time of year again, and you’re all invited to join me for the 9th Annual Blogging for LGBTQ Families Day! (We’ve added the “Q” this year for extra queerness.) In addition to the blogging event on Monday, June 2, I have a special treat this year: an in-person LGBTQ Families Celebration on Sunday, June 1, for anyone in the Boston area. Anyone who wants to show their support for LGBTQ families is welcome. Details after the jump.
It’s hard to be thinking about next July already. I’m barely thinking about Thanksgiving/Thanksgivukkah, and that’s only weeks away. Still, the wonderful women of BlogHer have put out the Call for Ideas for July’s BlogHer ’14, so it’s time to fire up the neurons.
My spouse and I love to travel with our son, and we’re lucky that he’s adaptable and adventurous. While most of the problems we encounter along the way are things that could happen to any family — delayed flights, lack of convenient rest stops, forgotten teddy bears — we are also very aware that LGBT-headed families may have specific concerns when on the road. I’m therefore excited to invite you to a travel-focused Twitter party for LGBT parents on November 6, sponsored by Residence Inn by Marriott in partnership with Mombian, TravelingMom, and the Family Equality Council.
Continuing with my series of tantalizing quotes from Blogging for LGBT Families Day, here are six more that caught my eye. I hope they pique your interest enough to go read the full posts.
The most difficult part of Blogging for LGBT Families Day is reading through all the amazing posts (130 this year!) and trying to figure out how best to share them further. I’ve tried in some past years to categorize: posts on trying to start a family, on being the child of an LGBT parent, on faith and LGBT families, on being a single parent, etc. Many of the posts cross these boundaries, though. I also think there’s value in sometimes stumbling on a great post not in a category one would normally read. My solution this year is therefore a little different.
