Blogging for LGBTQ Families DayIt’s Blogging for LGBTQ Families Day! Below is the master list of contributed posts, which I will keep updated throughout the day. Please come back to check for new additions you haven’t read! Thanks to all of you for participating! I’m happy to add more posts for the next few days (though you must get them in by 11:59 p.m. ET 6/2/15, to be eligible for a chance at the giveaways).

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, make a public Facebook post, upload to a video- or photo-sharing site and submit the link, or leave your contribution in a comment on this post. You can also tweet in support of LGBTQ families with the hashtag #LGBTQfamilies. I’ll also be posting links over at the Mombian Facebook page all day, so you can follow the fun there if that’s how you roll. Please encourage all your friends, LGBTQ, their families, and allies, to participate!

Leave an e-mail address (not to be shared or sold) or make sure I can contact you through your blog if you want a chance to be selected for one of the goodies I’ll be giving away to random participants in celebration of our 10th year. (Full giveaway rules and details are here.) Giveaway items are:
