Welcome to Blogging for LGBT Families Day! Below is the master list of contributed posts.
I’ll be updating this with latecomers on Tuesday (I’m all about inclusion here), so it’s not to late to participate! Just post on your own blog and send me the link or leave a comment here with the link.
Thanks to everyone who contributed already. A special thanks to the Family Equality Council for their sponsorship of the event. Thanks as well to The Bilerico Project, COLAGE, Freedom to Marry, PageOneQ, Pam’s House Blend, PFLAG, Queercents, and the many others who went the extra mile in encouraging participation.
I hope you take the time to read other people’s posts and enjoy the diversity of the LGBT community and our allies. Over the next few days, I’ll be reading through all the entries myself, and writing up some posts that pull together various related themes that emerge.
[UPDATED: June 4, 12:45am Eastern.] Posts are alphabetical by name of blog. Starred (*) posts are new since last update. Putting them after a jump since the list is getting long now.
