sneak peak: Family Pride gets full page spread in the Advocate!
David on Sep 12th 2007
We couldn’t be more thrilled that Family Pride and our amazing staff are being featured in this month’s issue of the advocate. Here’s your sneak peak at the full page spread featuring Family Pride. Click to enlarge the image.
The advocate writes, “The organizations now propelling the movement have smaller staffs and budgets but major impact. As the big three [aka HRC, the Task Force and GLAAD] work on a macro level to lobby politicians, corporate leaders, entertainers, and other influential movers and shakers as well as pour millions of dollars - HRC has an annual budget of around $30 million - into wide-ranging research and initiatives, the “micro” groups featured on these pages are delivering on their laser-focused missions. The result? Progress up and down the scale of the fight for equality. Indeed, the little guy may be the key to our success in the long haul.
Kudos to Family Pride and the handful of other small but mighty organizations featured in the issue. And a special kudos to you. Family Pride is an organization defined by its members; it’s because of engaged supporters like you that our work is possible. Each time you download a publication, comment on our blog, send us an email or tell a friend about our work, we take a step forward. Here’s to the many steps we’ve taken together, and the many more yet to come!
woah- you guys look all hardcore and stuff. how’d they get you all to look so serious without sara bursting into laughter?
Congratulations for making into the Advocate. I used to read that all the time when I was in PA. Need to start reading it again. Keep up the great work you’re doing.
I like hardcore. Makes you look tough.
Eat that Gov Schwartzenneger…
Congratulations Family Pride staff. Thank you for the terrific work you do on behalf of our families.
Acknowledgement for success and professionalism is always gratifying on an individual level and inspiring on an organizational level.
Your mission reminds us all to be brave in support of those who are brave everyday.
Loving parents and secure and confident children make the work go ’round.
Thank you for helping the spin.

It’s been and is a “long and winding road” Family Pride. That is the life of this arena and for Family Pride’s Exceutive Director, Jenn Chrisler and her Family, Cheryl, Tim and Tom we have a Family of Friends, a determined Family to make a difference, and powerful Family allies that never quit by giving of themselves to others. For all they give and have given to us, Bless them to continue with the vigor and determination to make this world a truly better place for Equality to live as reality. We love you all, Bob and Chet
I am more and more proud of you every single day.
With love,
