    The Rainbow List is a fantastic resource – I’m so happy it is there for everyone, and I’m really proud to be one of your Links!
    Namaste,

    Thanks for the lists. Our Family Explorations -California Families Day celebrates all families especially welcoming those with LGBTQ members. We reflect this in the books for sale in our Museum Store.

    Correction to the above comment: gay actually is good. there is absolutely nothing wrong with homosexuality. or bisexuality. or being transsexual. it’s just who you are. “james”, comments like that should not be allowed on this site.

    Everyone has the right to their opinion, even people with opinions like James’s. That’s why sites like this are so important, so that young people can see that there’s no shame in being who you are.
