Family Pride: Outloud

Via Guy Dads I've become aware of a national organization called Family Pride, which, according to their Web site is fighting for the equality of gay (and the rest of the alphabet of letters that follow "g") families by training them to be visible and effective spokespersons ("discrimination" out. "Hurting," in).

According to the Family Pride Web site:

The national speakers bureau for family equality, OUTSpoken Families, is loud and strong! LGBTQ parents, extended family members and caring allies have all committed to being a part of this groundbreaking and very powerful ensemble. Over 800 people in 39 states, the District of Columbia, 1 US territory and 3 countries have signed on to be OUTSpoken.

This is so needed. It's harder for people to hate what they know. It's easy to be against the "homosexual agenda" but harder to hate Susie and Mary and their kids Tom and Lynette down the street.

It's good to see a national gay organization doing more than raising money for the Democratic National Committee.
