‘Tis the season for holiday movies, and this year, we queer moms get a Christmas movie, too! Watch a trailer here for “A Holiday I Do,” about a single queer mom looking for love … and a Christmas miracle.
Looking for LGBTQ-inclusive, holiday-themed books for kids? There may not be as many as we’d like, but there might be more than you think!
I’m continuing my roundups of this year’s LGBTQ kids’ books, this time with a look at the sometimes-forgotten range of titles for readers aging out of picture books, but not quite ready for the longest middle grade reads.
Today, November 18, marks at least six different notable anniversaries and observances for the LGBTQ community. Do you know them all? (OK, one is purely personal; it’s the “Massaversary” of when my spouse and I made it legal in Massachusetts. But even that is related to another event….)
October is LGBTQ History Month and includes National Coming Out Day, Spirit Day, Ace Week, and Intersex Awareness Day. By Halloween, my head is abuzz with ways to support and sustain our multifaceted queer selves. Here’s how the spookiest day of the year can bring it all together.
Witches, ghosts, werewolves, vampires, and monsters abound in 2023’s LGBTQ-inclusive kids’ books! These spooky stories show protagonists confronting their fears, both inner and outer, to save themselves and those around them. Read them for Halloween or any time!
Things are always pretty purple here at Mombian, but I’m feeling extra purple today for Spirit Day, GLAAD’s annual event to show support for LGBTQ youth and speak out against bullying—which to my mind includes both personal bullying and the sweeping bullying of anti-LGBTQ laws and rhetoric.
It’s International Pronouns Day, so once again, I’m rounding up some great kids’ books, music, and games all about pronouns, including several that are new this year—for you and her and him and them!
For Father’s Day or all year long, I’m highlighting some recent picture books featuring LGBTQ dads and rounding up some older ones, soothing, serious, and silly. Find something new or be inspired by an old favorite! And a very happy day to all who call themselves a father!
Today is LGBTQ Families Day and the start of Pride Month! Here’s how to join in—plus some other goings on, including an important new report about LGBTQ families and parentage laws, a new tool about LGBTQ paths to parentage, and a discussion with PFLAG and me that you can hear this afternoon!
