Share Your Story

Your story has the power to create real, lasting change in our world. By sharing your joys and challenges, you help us change hearts and minds across the country, show fellow LGBTQ+ families that they’re not alone, and offer insight into the experiences of LGBTQ+ families for future generations.

If you’re a member of an LGBTQ+ family eager to share your story, there are two ways to get started:

  1. Reach out to our Associate Director of Archives, Storytelling, and Brand to set up a time to chat. On the 30-60 minute call, you will be invited to share your story, aided by informal, guided questions.
  2. Fill out our online form if you prefer to begin sharing your story through text instead.

After you review your recorded story — and note any content you wish to be restricted — it will be made available online in our living story library.

Together, we can tell the story of LGBTQ+ family life over the past forty-five years so that future generations can tap into the strength, joy, love, and hope that’s gotten us where we are today.
