Your LBGTQ Holiday Mom
About Our Moms
This season, supportive moms have gathered to send a holiday message to all LGBTQ children, teens and young adults who are without family support and who would like a “stand-in Holiday Mom”–or 40! Knowing that not every mother is ready to accept her own LGBTQ child exactly as-is (as hard as this is for us to imagine), we moms have written to extend our love beyond that of our own family.
Dearest Soul,
I am so honored to have an opportunity to be your Holiday Mom . . .
When my son called me from college to tell me that he was coming out, I felt like the luckiest mom in the world. I always knew that he was special, but I had no idea how courageous he was. I didn’t understand what he had been through during his childhood years, and I felt like a horrible mother for making him feel like he might need to hide his true nature. Within minutes however, we were both laughing at the irony of his situation – he was literally calling me from the closet of his dorm room! I laughed until I cried. We both realized that we just needed to let the past go and make sure that we move forward with love every day. Our journey since then has been one of love and support. I want to share that love and support with you too. Let’s all let the past go and move forward with love.
