Do you know why the “L” is at the beginning of LGBTQIA+? 🌈
It’s for a specific, historical reason: to honor the le****ns who cared for gay men during the HIV/AIDS crisis, when they were abandoned by all others. Le***an compassion is enduring: this Pride Month, we want to give the le****ns who continue the legacy of care-work for gay men their flowers.
You’ve heard lots about our LGBTQ+ IPs, but we also work with many LGBTQ+ surrogates—and one of the most special, underrepresented relationships in surrogacy is that between a q***r surrogate and the q***r couple they’re carrying for. We have two stories here from two Brownstone surrogates from two sides of the same community linked through the shared experience of what it’s like to build a family with a missing ingredient; collaborating to bring a child into this world through the sheer force of love and intention. Le***ans forever. 💖 🧡 🤍
