A new campaign launched yesterday with the goal of engaging one million kids–whether LGBTQ, children of LGBTQ parents, or allies–in advance of this summer’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality.
To close out the year, here’s a roundup of some LGBTQ parenting stories I haven’t yet covered here, including three great pieces about growing up with multiple moms.
The Rainbow Letters is a great new project that aims to collect and share the stories of those who have LGBTQ parents.
October marks LGBT History Month, and a new project by two daughters of gay dads aims to reveal a part of history that has rarely been told before: the stories of people like themselves who lost parents to AIDS.

Fifteen-year-old Albie Williams recently won a U.K. speaking competition for a personal, funny, and touching speech about his gay dad.
