Love makes a family......
Jul. 3rd, 2009 04:04 pmI just took a break from cooking to have a bite to eat and check my email.
I had not expect to hear of the death of Bonnie Tinker who was attending Friends General Conference. She was reportedly hit by by a truck while riding her bicycle. Bonnie was the force behind Love Makes a Family a group that supports lesbian and gay families. Bonnie was a member of one of the Portland Friends Meetings (Multnomah, I believe) and as widely known in both the LGBT and Quaker communities.
I'm grieving her loss Friends. While I did not know her personally, her work and her light affected my life for the better. This is a sad day.
