Blogging for LGBT Families Day: Master Post of Contributions — Add Yours!

2013familydayIt’s Blogging for LGBT Families Day! Below 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!]

To submit a post, complete the form at the end of this post. Older posts are welcome, too. If you don’t have a blog of your own (but only then), leave your contribution in a comment.

Please allow some time between submitting a post and its appearance in the list below. I will be updating the list as fast as possible, but new posts may not appear immediately.

You can also tweet in support of LGBT families and use the hashtag #lgbtfamilies. Your tweets will then appear in the list over in the sidebar. (You can follow the hashtag using your favorite Twitter software, too.)

Please encourage all your friends, LGBT and not, to participate! Thanks to the Family Equality Council for co-sponsoring this year’s event.

    My mother’s post:

    A Pebble in the Pond
    My son is the reason I became a LGBT ally. Like a pebble thrown into a smooth pond, his gender identity transition created a ripple that has altered flow of my life. (Truthfully, at the time, it was a tsunami of fear-centered emotions). I feel privileged to keep throwing pebbles into smooth ponds to cultivate understanding and advocate for change for LGBT persons, specifically transgender teens.

    Here is my favorite pebble story: Two years ago when he was 18, my son had a hysterectomy at a major medical center in Washington DC. While his father and I sat in the surgery waiting room, the nursing supervisor approached us with assurance that he would receive exceptional care on her unit. Of course, we were grateful for any extra attention paid to our vulnerable son. And, then, she shared that her daughter, a college student, had started her own gender transition. She had cast another pebble by sharing her untold story with her staff during its case review meeting earlier that morning. In a single act of courage, the nursing supervisor created the ripples for transgender patients to receive the care and compassionate all deserve.
