Last month, thanks to our talented and generous readers, and to Caleb Eigsti who conceived and managed it, the Out October Project gave hope to many readers and attracted a great deal of attention. You, sharing your coming out stories, made a difference. We published a total of twenty stories, and we still have more to share!
Looking ahead, and realizing that Thanksgiving is just two weeks away (how did that happen?) I thought it would be a good opportunity to share what we’re thankful for. Despite hard economic times and major setbacks in the LGBT civil rights movement, we, as a community and as a nation, still have much to be thankful for.
They say having an “attitude of gratitude” is necessary to be happy in life. I agree.
So, here is a call for submissions! Share with us your list of “top ten things I am grateful for,” or a gratitude-filled Thanksgiving story, or anything that you think will help others realize that together, as a community, we can make a difference in the lives of our gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender brothers and sisters.
