Children of LGBT Parents
Experts estimate that more than 10 million people have one or more lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) parents. Some children grow up aware of their parent's orientation, others learn about it when they are older and may have to resolve this fact with feelings of homophobia.
Today, COLAGE is the only national organization in the world specifically supporting children, youth and adults with LGBT parents. Through local chapters and online resources, COLAGE offers a diverse array of support, education and advocacy by and for people with LGBT parents.
Gay or straight, there are all kinds of families in the world.
For teens and adults, additional support and information can be found at the online resource Families Like Mine. Queerspawn Diaries

This marks the 17th year GLAAD has tracked the number of LGBT characters expected to appear in the new fall television season on both broadcast and cable networks.read more >>
