Recently, Hallmark released four different greeting card designs targeted at the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. With phrases such as, "Two hearts. One Promise," this type of cards has been gladly received by some members of the LGBT community.

"I do like the idea that they're offering them," Chase Dummermuth, musical theater and fashion merchandising major, said. "I think that now that America and the world, actually, as a whole is becoming more open to the LGBT community, something small like a greeting card from one homosexual partner to another should definitely be recognized."

They have been around for quite sometime now.  Raley's has them, for I have seen my pharmacy manager buy one for her girlfriend!  ;D

I like to see that there's more acceptance out there in the general community.  If Gays and Lesbians are welcomed into the mainstream, then Transfolk can't be too far behind, can we?  Of course, I find that fat folk aren't getting too far in their struggle, and being both means hard work if you're into activism, but it's worth it in the long run.
