america anyone best blue cherished children corner country diverse families genuine great hope invite love million offer parents public raised red respect respectful rich rural shower sons states strive teach terrific time traditions twin
Approximately 9 million children are being raised in LGBT-headed households. Our parents live in every corner of this country, rural and urban, red states and blue states, and we strive like every other parent in this country to give our children the best opportunities, to shower them with love, to teach them respect and a love for the rich and diverse traditions America has to offer them. By participating in this American tradition we hope to show our children a great time while introducing our families to the American public in a genuine and respectful way. I know my four-year-old twin sons are going to have a terrific time and I invite anyone with children to come to this cherished event.

It's important for our families to be seen participating in all aspects of American life.
