I’ll play!
[...] Here’s how it works, in a nutshell: You blog about a relevant topic on or before June 1, and do one of several easy things (details here) to let me know you’ve done so. I will compile a list of all the posts, showcasing the voices of our community and allies. I will also market the event within and beyond the world of LGBT-family blogs. [...]
hey mombian! Great to see another “Blog for” day. As a Queer persyn who hopes to adopt, i’ll add my two cents to the topic. I’ll be traveling a lot in June, but i’ll try to find my way to internet access on the first. I also added the call to a Progressive Bloggers Kicking Ass discussion group, so hopefully some more folks will chime in.
How cool! We blog about our family almost everyday on our daughter’s Web site. We’ll definitely try to post something on June 1st.
Coming up: Blogging for LGBT Families Day…
Calling all Queerspawn: Join in on June 1 for Blogging for LGBT Families Day, hosted by Mombian.com.

I’ve spread the word about this excellent idea over at BlogHer, in this post.
I have added this to our story feature.
Sounds like an awesome idea…
Cool! I will write a special post about carrying my partner’s baby (Baby G due in July) and all of the love and support we have been shown on our journey to parenthood.
Thanks to “The Muriels” for pointing me to this site!

[...] Thanks to everyone who has signed up so far to join the fun on Blogging for LGBT Families Day. I’m happy to report that participants include lesbian moms, gay dads, adult children of LGBT parents, members of the trans community, and straight allies. There are those who have children, those who are trying to, and those who are undeclared. This is also now officially an international event, with bloggers from the UK and Australia as well as the U. S. [...]

Canada is officially participating! We have three children 17(f), 10(f) and 9(m). All are extremely wonderful and happy and safe and secure and content and “normal”. I recently finished reading this really great book! It’s titled HOW IT FEELS TO HAVE A GAY OR LESBIAN PARENT – SNOW, JUDITH. This is essays based on interviews conducted with children of gays and lesbians who’s parents were once in straight relationships. Children of Divorce plus children of gay and lesbian parents. It was interesting for me having children who have gone through this. Especially, reading about the adult children looking back, saying what was damaging for them and what wasn’t. This book, in my opinion is a must read for anyone and everyone involved with children with gay parents; teachers, caregivers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, every single adult! It is that important! It is a reasonably priced book! It also has a list of resources. I hope you will check it out and buy a few copies to give out to your loved ones and your Exes if you have receptive ones!Like the blog idea and excited to keep an eye on it as it picks up momentum!

With your permission I’ll repost this in it’s entirety at SpectrumBloggers to hopefully get more people into it.
[...] Let’s not prove them wrong. Please pass the word along on your blogs, and ask any bloggers you know who want to share positive insights about LGBT families to contribute. All they (and you) have to do is write a relevant post on or before June 1, and let me know in one of several simple ways. Anyone who’s busy on June 1 can write a post in advance, or, if their blogging software supports it, edit the post timestamp so it publishes on June 1. Let’s make our voices heard. by D | posted in Blogging for LGBT Families Day [...]
I’m going to do it!
This post is in honor of Blogging for LGBT Families Day…
LGBT families out there, I thank you.
My partner and I have been trying to conceive for over three months now. The process started last year actually, but the actual inseminations have been going on for the last 3. We are currently awaiting test result…
[...] A big thanks to Asha Dornfest of Parent Hacks for helping to spread the word about Blogging for LGBT Families Day. [...]
[...] According to Dana Rudolph, in a post at Mombian.com, the day initiator: What is Blogging for LGBT Families Day? Blogging for LGBT Families Day is a time for bloggers to write about LGBT family issues and collectively raise awareness of LGBT families, our diverse nature, and how current prejudices and laws negatively impact our lives and children. I aim to make people more comfortable interacting with LGBT families and discussing LGBT families with their own. I also hope the event will make people more informed voters, showing them how their decisions at the polls directly affect the families in their communities. [...]

I’ll definitely be joining you on this on June 1st :)
thanks for having GLBT blogging day. What a great idea. I’m in. Wishing to to hear about the subject of gay foster parenting.
I’ve posted a story on my blog announcing my participation and encouraging others to do so. Thanks for organizing this event, I think it could cause people to really dig deep and look at their own families and experiences. I know preparing for it has already motivated me to do so.

Blogging for LGBT Families – June 1st…
Let me first admit that I had not IDEA what the four letters LGBT signified. I actually tried to decrypt this code but too ashamed to share with anyone my initial guess. After some poking around the web, I learned…
We just added this information to our parenting blog! What a great idea!!!
http://www.siliconvalleymomsblog.com
This is very exciting and an absolutely wonderful idea. I have written the draft of my post for this special day and am looking forward to sharing it with the world.
My other site as well.

This is a great idea. I posted the information int he gay dad’s livejournal group. Hopefully, some of the BGT’s in the group will participate.

hope to have my own blog up and running by then…great idea. we adopted three brothers two years ago and life as a parent is the best thing ever.
I’m in! I blog largely about religion — I am the bishop of an inclusive small independent sacramental Christian church which welcomes lgbt folk equally, including the sacraments of marriage and ordination. I’ve so far only performed same-sex weddings, not heterosexual ones (not that there’s anything wrong with that!).
Great idea! My partner and I are licensed foster parents and are waiting for our first placement. We will definitely participate in this event!
Yes! We will participate! We’re TTC our first.
Blogged it!
I’ve joined in as well, happily so, with a letter to my children. June 1st is my daughter’s 12th birthday, too.
