Once again, we are thrilled to be hosting this amazing gathering for LGBT families from across the country. Our families are an important part of the LGBT civil rights battle and they are on the frontlines of educating Americans about the reality of our lives. It is important to give parents and their children a safe place to gather, an opportunity to re-energize and access to the tools we need to create a more just society. I invite everyone who cares about equality for all families to be a part of this historic week.

There's no good reason not to put children in the care of gay and lesbian parents.

They had a great time. They loved rolling eggs. We were focused on one thing, and that was attending the Egg Roll with our children, so we were thrilled to be able to participate, whether it was at noon or 9 a.m.

They rolled eggs, they did an egg hunt, they saw Arthur and Clifford, the Easter Bunny and Mrs. Easter Bunny. So they had a great time despite the rain.

They're going to let their bigotry get in the way of helping children.

We are still at a place in this country where gay and lesbian people need to identify themselves at these events.

We as a country need to come to grips with the fact that despite what the conservative movement would have us believe, family is not always a mom and a dad in a married situation in a nuclear family with two kids and a dog and a house in the suburbs with a white picket fence.
