/  HEALTHY FAMILY UNITY

 

We believe a healthy family unit is comprised of two or more people living together bound in unconditional love and devotion for one another. It is the most basic and most essential social structure for happy and healthy communities. Ideally, when functioning optimally, a family serves as a loving source of security—a foundation of unconditional love, acceptance, and commitment. It's a unit of strength in a world full of uncertainties and difficulties. Poor choices, illness, injury, poverty, addiction, emotional distress, and loss of loved ones often plague our lives. A healthy family environment is designed as a protection from such stressors through their emotional, material, and spiritual loving support. Our hope is that all LGBTQ people can experience these benefits while feeling loved and accepted for their "complete" selves. Healthy families are and always will be an important source of happiness and prosperity throughout many people's lives. Our hope is that one day every LGBTQ person can have the opportunity to participate in a healthy family environment of unconditional love, support, and acceptance. Our "Healing Families" mentor program is designed to do just that. Please donate today to help us see that every LGBTQ person has this profound opportunity. 

 

/  FAMILY & LGBTQ INCLUSION

 

We all come into this world as innocent, beautiful infants who desire nothing more than to feel loved, protected, and nurtured. When we arrive, some of us are fortunate enough to be raised in a supportive family who will love and accept us for who we are no matter what. Tragically, many millions of LGBTQ children, teens, and young adults around the world are not so fortunate due to their sexual orientation. These wonderful LGBTQs often suffer the horrible consequences of emotional and physical abandonment and isolation including self-harm, homelessness, alcohol and drug addiction, prostitution, sex addiction, depression, and sadly even suicide. Through family inclusion, love and acceptance, these problems can often be avoided. A family's unconditional love and acceptance really does resolve much of the heartache and suffering LGBTQs face today.

 

/  PARENTING

 

Often married same-sex couples desire to increase the size of their family by sharing their love and devotion with children of their own someday. This can serve as an amazing source of growth and fulfillment for parents of all sexual orientations who decide to undertake this amazing venture. Intertwined in a web of love, support, and devotion, all children raised within this environment are shown to be happier and more emotionally stable as they mature into adulthood. All children (both gay and straight alike) deserve to be loved and accepted as such.

 

/  FAMILY & MARRIAGE

 

Same-sex couples often desire to share their happiness and love through devotion to each other (and children of their own if desired) through marriage. The passage of marriage equality on June 26, 2015 by the Federal Supreme Court in the United States has allowed all LGBTQ people to become lawfully recognized as married nationally. Other nations have also passed marriage equality laws and protections. We believe that this unprecedented move not only strengthens the lives of LGBTQ families and their children, but also offers strength and unity to the institution of marriage throughout the world.

 

/  OUR VISION

 

We desire for all LGBTQ individuals born into this world, from this day forth, to experience a loving and affirming family. We are currently working to make this happen within local communities. Our hope is to see that all parents alike accept and love their LGBTQ children with deep affection, support, and commitment. We hope to make this a reality together.
