Mother's Day and Father's Day are varied celebrations in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) families, but the spirit--celebrating the love between one generation and the next--remains the same. I therefore decided to choose a day midway between the two, June 1, and create Blogging for LGBT Families Day, a time for bloggers of all sexual orientations and gender identities to come together and write in support of LGBT families. It honors both mothers and fathers equally, but also conveys that not all families fit the traditional structure of one mother and one father.
