Queer-friendly clarification *
I confirm that I am LGBTTTQ-friendly as described
below.
What I mean by Queer Friendly
For some
people, the term, queer-friendly just means,
being comfortable with two moms. However, this
event is open to the queer community as a whole, not just monogamous couples.
Please take a moment to read the following excerpt from an ad
I'm posting with x-tra west:
"Your doula will be
accompanying you in one of the most meaningful and intimate moments of your
life, so it is import to find one who is Queer Friendly and a good fit.
Browsing through websites can be confusing and interviewing multiple doulas
can be very time-consuming. The Doulas at this event have all been
hand-selected for their dedication to birthing families and their
LGBTQ-friendliness. Whether you are a queer single-mom, transgendered,
intersex, an adoptive couple and birth mother, newlywed dykes, unconventional
queer extended family, or a BDSM couple, you can feel confident coming to
Doula Speed Dating." Please let me know if you feel comfortable with that
description. I really want to be sure that people from all parts of the LGBTQ
spectrum feel welcome and not just tolerated."
If you have any questions,
aren't sure, etc, please let me know. I promise full
confidentiality, so if you decide that you are not comfortable with it, you
can say so without risking embarrassment or judgment. Thanks,
Aimée
