More about your group. (Other info about your group: beliefs, activity history, how frequently you meet, talents, etc.) If you need to add paragraph breaks use this symbol <p> Mama Dragons began on social media. Toward the end of 2013, a woman named Gina had started a Gay-Straight Alliance at a local high school. She needed advice and turned to a group of moms she knew who had LGBTQ kids. They started a messaging thread which grew quickly as word spread. More and more moms, who were navigating supporting their kids while being part of a non-affirming religion, joined the group. At the start of 2014, the message thread became a Facebook group as conversations were becoming harder to track. In 2018 Mama Dragons became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization of mothers from all backgrounds with one common purpose – to support, educate, and empower one another in raising happy and healthy LGBTQ kids. While our roots are in Mormonism, our membership has grown to include a diverse population of mothers, regardless of their faith traditions, from all over the United States and beyond. While many of us intimately understand the disconnect between faith and having an LGBTQ child, our intersectionality goes beyond faith to include many cultural, political, and geographic differences. We’ve come a long way since that initial conversation among a handful of moms ten years ago.
