I am a parent of LGBTQ+ offspring, and I love and support them tenderly and fiercely. I hope to continually learn, grow and expand my appreciation of humans in all our wonderful variety. I am a white, heterosexual, privileged, college educated, middle-class, middle-aged, cis-gender woman. This background provides me unearned advantages in many situations. Recognizing that the reality of a person is much more than appearances, I strive to be aware of my own assumptions and biases, and be open to how others present their authentic self.
