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.
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.
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.
Wow. Thanks to all of you who contributed one of the more than 100 great posts to Blogging for LGBT Families Day, and who helped spread the word via your blogs, Facebook, and Twitter. I hope you’ll take time today (okay, let’s be realistic; over the next few days) and read through the posts.
It’s Blogging for LGBT Families Day! After the jump is the master list of contributed posts, which I have kept updated throughout the day (and into the night). [Last update: 08:00 a.m. ET, 6/4: I’m still accepting posts to accommodate time zones, family emergencies, and simple forgetfulness. Make sure to check the list for new additions you haven’t read!]
It’s almost here: Blogging for LGBT Families Day is tomorrow, June 3. Find out how to include your blog post in the master list for all to see—and learn about a special related Twitter event—after the jump.
