    Thank you Treena. I think it is a wonderful idea, and I am always sad that parents and siblings might reject a family member for who they love or are.

            Hello Treena,

            thanks for sharing this! I really love the idea and know many people who really struggled during their teens because of all the prejudice etc.

              Hi Treena,
              Like Hans, I can think of many that could have benefited from this effort. Thank you very much for sharing.

                  LGBTQ kids are not LGBTQ kids, just kids. Gay or straight, anyone fat or thin, anyone black or white. All just humans. I try not to stereotype anymore. I love the post. Thanks for sharing Treena

                  Look upon the world as a bubble,
                  regard it as a mirage;
                  who thus perceives the world,
                  him Mara, the king of death, does not see.

                      Yes, good point Alex. Personally, I try to stay away from labels as well. However, in regards to this topic, I think the only reason for the "label" is because these groups of children are being oppressed so much and yeah, they need all the help, love, and support we can give them.

                        Treena,
                        Thank you for this. I can't imagine a more beautiful gesture than to provide someone with a sense of family.

                            Hello all,

                            Does anyone know if this is going on again this year? My computer is glitching and the website won't pull up for me.

                            Gassho,
