queer parents and caregivers, needs help as it
gears up for its third annual auction next month

The proceeds will benefit two Love Makes a
Family programs. The Middle Schtxils Project
ensures that alternative families feel safe within
the public schcxil system, and MultiQueer advo­
cates for the empowerment of gay, lesbian, hi,
trans and questioning youth of color.
