Program

As we gear up for the new school year, come join Our Family Coalition at FABULOSA BOOKS in the Castro for a queer celebration book reading! We'll be joined by author, SF's own, Meredith Steiner to read her book, Just. Like. You.  Afterwards we will be joined by SF Bay Area author, Kathryn Bury, to read an excerpt from her new middle-grade book, Drew Leclair Crushes the Case. There will be activities and a short discussion about pushback about Queer representation happening at schools and what we can do about it. Come join the movement and have some fun doing it!

Thanks to everyone!

Gathering, celebration and smiles

Our events are more than just gatherings – they are experiences that bring people together, inspire creativity, and foster connections that last long after the day is over.

Share your story

We’re looking for stories by or about LGBTQ+ parents/caregivers or prospective parents, as well as the grandparents or adult children of LGBTQ+ headed families.

Generally, we hope your story will not only inform other families on LGBTQ+ family topics, but also let others know that they are not alone in the journey of advocating for our families.

Whether you feel like you’ve arrived, or your story is not yet complete, know that we can keep one another company all along the way. And it always helps to feel a little less alone.

  • How is your family structured?
  • What is your family formation story?
  • Have you faced challenges in forming your family or parenting because of your identity?
  • How were you able to navigate these challenges?
  • What has been the impact on you/your spouse/children?
  • What systems/people helped guide you?
  • What advice would you have for other LGBTQ-headed families – or perhaps just your younger self?
  • How have you or your family dealt with challenges at schools, medical providers, or elsewhere?
  • Were there times when you expected resistance and instead were welcomed?
  • Do you have opinions you’d like to share about current events, or perhaps movies, TV shows, music, or more?
  • Do you have a story about how Our Family Coalition has had an impact on your or your family that you’d like to share?
