lgbtlovecomesfirst: See What These LGBQ Moms Love Most About Being Parents“For Mother’s
lgbtlovecomesfirst:See What These LGBQ Moms Love Most About Being Parents“For Mother’s Day, we asked gay, lesbian, bisexual, and queer moms to share their experiences with us. Get the tissues. “Working for social justice is at its core, a hopeful enterprise. Yet cynicism has been nipping at my toes for longer than I can remember. Becoming a mother—needing to be my best, most positive self for my little person—is the best antidote to pessimism that I have found, pushing me to think bigger about the change I want to make in the world.Part of that change begins at home. My partner and I aren’t just mamas to our beautiful son. We are also daughters, taking care of an elderly parent as we raise our child in a multi-generational household. We are a family who, like four out of five families in this country, don’t fit into a traditional mold. Being a mama means celebrating the ways our family is unique. Being a mama means celebrating all the mamas everywhere who make a difference in our families and our communities. That’s why I love Mamas Day so much—it’s a chance this Mother’s Day to recognize each and every Mama and show our love to them. — Nancy HaqueRead the stories hereSee videos of LGBT family stories at LoveComesFirst.com -- source link
