Rainbow Rumpus - is a new web-based magazine for kids with lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender parents featuring children's stories, poetry, drawings, cartoons, songs and videos. The magazine breaks new ground as it is the first publication by and for young children with LGBT parents.
"Rainbow Rumpus has attracted an amazing level of talent," said Laura Matanah, the magazine's publisher. "The members of our author advisory board--Marion Dane Bauer, Nancy Garden, Gregory Maguire, and Jacqueline Woodson--are all noted authors in the world of children's literature. The magazine also features music for children. The first issue includes a song by two-time Grammy Award winning children's musicians Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer."
Rainbow Rumpus was conceived when Matanah's daughter was looking at a small photo in the Human Rights Campaign's magazine Equality. She exclaimed, "Look Mommy! A picture of two moms and twins! It's just like us!"
"I'm so excited to provide a venue for this work," Matanah said. "Our children want to see images of their families."

it's a youth-run initiative, anyone can help. The Project is looking
for donations of fabric, money, and/or time, and also for the word to
be spread about the Project and same-sex marriage.
