  7. Thanks so much for hosting this event! If you were ever to post a retrospective of Blogging for LGBTQ families past with some analysis of how the topics covered have changed (or not) over the years, I would be fascinated to read it (no pressure).

  8. Thanks, Mary! That’s a great idea — but would definitely take some work. Maybe I’ll try to pull something together to share by the time next year’s event rolls around. Stay tuned!
