Thank you to the members of the LGBTQ+ Writers Committee who came forward to share their family-building stories and struggles as we worked to address this inequity, to the incredible staff at the Guild and the Health Plan, and to the PWGA Trustees for their continued allyship and advocacy.

Getting the call near the end of my (first?) two-year term — that we successfully found a way to make progress — moved me to happy tears. Happy tears! In 2025!

I was Vice Chair of the LGBTQ+ Writers Committee when this began, and fighting to achieve fairness and inclusivity on this issue is among the reasons I ran for Board of Directors in 2023.

Yes 100%

Oh no, is this why half off my original concepts are “this could all be real or the main character could just be having a psychotic break”
