June 2 - Blog for LGBT Families Day

Postby JustSkipIt » Sat Apr 19, 2008 8:48 am

According to Mombian.com a blog that I really enjoy, June 2 Blogging for LGBT Families Day. You can download a banner for your blog and see their recommendations for how/when to blog and to get a link on their site. Here's the text of the post:

It’s almost that time of year again, so mark your calendars now. The third annual Blogging for LGBT Families Day is coming up on Monday, June 2. (Yes, I’ve held it on the 1st in previous years, but it seemed best not to do it on a Sunday, a low-traffic day in the blogosphere.)

Last year, over 150 bloggers participated, including lesbian moms, gay dads, adult children of LGBT parents, members of the transgender community, LGBT individuals without children, and straight allies. Countries represented included the United States as well as Australia, Canada, and the UK. Some bloggers told stories about their paths to parenthood, or tales about their children; some wrote about LGBT relatives or friends; others discussed current political events; and several spoke of why their faith obliges them to support LGBT rights. This year’s writings should be equally diverse and compelling.

Here’s how it works:

* Blog on a topic related to LGBT families on or before June 2, 2008.
* Leave a comment on this post, or send an e-mail to lgbtfamilies@mombian.com with the permalink to your post. (If you know how, you may also add the tag “blogging for lgbt families day” to your entry.)
* I’ll compile the posts and highlight them here on June 2. Come back and read the stories and insights of our community and allies.

Any blogger who wants to support LGBT families is welcome, LGBT or not, parent or not. I encourage those who don’t usually post about LGBT families or LGBT issues, as well as those for whom every day is Blogging for LGBT Families Day. Give it a spin based on your usual blog topics. There’s no set formula or format. Photos and videos are also welcome.

It's so neat, the little universes that are created which go on their merry little ways in the world of blogdom. I'll never understand it all :P But if I had a blog, I'd definately post about this really good and important day, thanks Deb!
