Your Gay Life

The RAINBOWbLAWg is "taking off" and our posts are being picked up and published as articles on news sites like Op-Ed News and One Thousand Reasons.

One editor suggested we continue to write articles with an LGBTQ focus and of course we are happy to oblige!

Our aim is to inform and educate about issues in such a way that is not always reflected in the mainstream media and by other bloggers.

And, since nothing is more powerful than a true-life story, we want to weave real stories about real people into our articles.

With that in mind, we hope some of you are willing to share stories (yours or others that you are aware of) of unequal treatment and/or other situations that reflect your lack of access to laws and protections for you and your loved ones.

Perhaps you were discriminated at work, by your family, your neighbors or something else. If you have children, maybe they were teased or hurt in some way?

Have you lost custody or visitation? Were you denied housing?

Were you kept out of your partner's hospital room? Did you lose property in a "divorce" or after a partner died?

We think your story is vitally important to the struggle for equality and we will be happy to include it in order to illustrate the points we are trying to make about how LGBTQ people are negatively impacted in our daily lives.

If you have a story you want to share with us, please let us know.

If you prefer to remain anonymous, we will absolutely respect your privacy and will not identify you in any way.

Thanks for your help!
