Happy Holidays
This is just a note to wish you a Happy/Merry whatever-it-is you celebrate and hope you approach 2010 with a sense of adventure.
Also, as a reminder–if you are out getting gifts for others, please also consider a gift to the lgbt community in the form of a donation to a local program/nonprofit that services us. Donations are usually tax deductible and, in these times where everyone is cutting back, nonprofits are being hit hard.
Don’t know of any lgbt nonprofits in your area? Here are some suggestions…
If you are a writer or reader of black lgbt literature, you may send a coin or two to Fire & Ink.
If you want to add volume to our national voice, there’s the National Black Justice Coalition and the Zuna Institute.
If you are concerned about the plight of our youth, check out The Ruth Ellis Center, Fierce, and Smyal.
Let’s see, there’s also: The Audre Lorde Project, your local black pride, The Astraea Foundation….
If there is a lgbt nonprofit that you want to suggest, please feel free to shout it out in the comments section (with a link to the site).
We hope you and your families enjoy the holidays–and everyday. And know that the greatest gift you can give is your love.
