A Note from Alana to Her Friend (Connecticut)

A Note to My Kid gives the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) community, their parents, family and friends the opportunity to share their unconditional love with one another. The site also provides a resource for people who may not know how to broach the subject of sexuality with the opportunity to learn from example, while serving as a steadfast reminder that there's a lot of love and support that exists for the LGBTQ community; that we are not alone. It’s our ultimate goal that A Note to My Kid will help create such impenetrable bonds between members of our community and their loved ones that if a gay teenager is bullied at school, a lesbian is discriminated against at work or a transgender person is chastised while simply walking down the street that the negative impact will be far less because they will know that they are loved unconditionally by the most important people in their lives.

A Note to My Kid gives the LGBTQ community, their parents, families and friends the opportunity to share their unconditional love with one another.

The site also gives anyone the opportunity to share uplifting, personal stories relating to the LGBTQ community.

Write a note. Share a video. Submit a picture. The impact could be greater than you've ever imagined!

hey palindromic chickee ~

i've learned a lot since we crossed paths about 4 years ago.. and while you may not see it or intend it, one of the things i have been so impressed by is your ability and willingness to say what you feel. you know i've been doing it a hell of a lot more. sometimes it goes well, sometimes notsomuch, but i know i'm being honest and i feel good about it.. so here goes:

i have never met anyone like you. i don't know anyone so open, so loving, so unconditional.. i've never had a friend who is such a tremendous ally and advocate and still has a voice of reason. you have encouraged me silently or voluminously from the day i met you and i learn from you constantly - whether to be totally comfortable with who i am, that it is ok to ask for help, the intricacies of breast feeding at a baseball field so i can teach someone someday, that i can say wife and it is totally normal, how much fun walking up and down the stairs 9,000 times can be with a 2-yr-old, when i just need to send the drafted email, how to seamlessly combine last names, what i will need to do to be a great mama, or identifying the key role-players in vampire pop-culture.

i admire your strength, honesty, parenting, sincerity, passion, openness, goofiness and willingness to try/give/do.. you have been on the receiving end of my random gut-spilling life story messages and babblings on the edge of a deck.. you automatically, immediately, and unconditionally accepted us into your family.. you're reading this and thinking you didn't do anything. and that's just it - your everyday self is the person that has had a tremendous impact on my life. getting to know you has made me more passionate, more open, and clearly more expressive than i ever expected i would be. thank you for your support, being my ally, my confidant, my fellow warrior, and my friend.

i love you & i couldn't be more thankful you were so freakishly outgoing ;)

and now come help me with this damn eyeshadow...

shine on, lady!
