As the Safe Schools Coordinator here at PFLAG I get many questions about good books, movies, and materials that we can offer to schools. In our new safe schools booklet, The Top Ten Ways to Make Schools Safer…For All Students we highlight books, movies and programs that are age appropriate and great for schools.
Today I read this review of a new children's book on Pam’s House Blend and I wanted to share it with you. The truth is I personally have already bought this book, and given it as a present . It is a wonderful story that lets you see the world through the eyes of a gender variant child.
So if you need a present for a child, a school library or a book drive… check it out. And if you would like to talk about book idea for your school please contact me and I would love to help you find appropriate books for the schools in your community.

In a turn of events, Obama has also invited openly-gay Bishop Gene Robinson (who was a keynote speaker at our National Convention last year) to give a prayer at the inaugural invocation.
In keeping with openness and all-inclusiveness, Robinson is striving to be non-denominational and appeal to all Americans. Robinson told The New York Times today that “I am very clear.. that this will not be a Christian prayer, and I won’t be quoting Scripture or anything like that. The texts that I hold as sacred are not sacred texts for all Americans, and I want all people to feel that this is their prayer...[to] the God of our many understandings.â€
How do you feel about this latest addition to the inaugural ceremonies? Do you think this is an olive branch to the LGBT and ally communities? Leave your comments in the comment section, below.
