Many people have been involved in the fight for 🏳️🌈same-sex marriage 🏳️🌈. Today, SCOTUS rejected an attempt to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges. I wrote EDIE FOR EQUALITY to share how Edie made same-sex marriage happen. Obergefell, “There would be no Obergefell without Edie.” @leeandlow.bsky.social

Not planned, but spent #BannedBooksWeek in NYC in the company of incredible creators - who continue to put books in the world that represent marginalized voices. Books that will end up in the hands of young readers - who will see themselves and not-themselves on the pages.

Covering a lot of NYC: from Fearless Girl in Wall Street to Central Park to the Tenement Museum in the Lower East Side to Time Square. Quite a day. 🍎

We ❤️ NYC - especially with beautiful, warm weather. First a stop in Asbury Park, NJ with friends, then Queens to see the MoMa at PS 1, the High Line in Chelsea, and Little Island. Next a week of theatre and gatherings with KidLit family (editors and illustrators). #feelingfortunate

October is 🏳️🌈LGBTQ 🏳️🌈 History Month. So we never forget. So we can celebrate courageous people who stood up. So we can be inspired to be activists, too. EDIE FOR EQUALITY is the story of how Edie Windsor fought for marriage equality and changed history in this country. A fight that continues today. 🙏🏽

17 years ago today, we got married in CA during a window of time - when we were allowed to.
39 years ago we fell in love, because we did - not because we were allowed to.
LGBTQ marriages are being threatened once again.
More than ever, we must channel Edie, and fight for our rights, our love.

Our milkweed plants aren’t doing too well, but the monarchs keep laying their eggs. I counted twenty hungry caterpillars today. Happy to support the next generation of these beautiful butterflies. #mariposa
