The website really looks good congratulations!
And I mean it, it is really an incredible achievement, I believe for the UK it is the single most informed and relevant place to go for LGBT parenting advice, well done!
You must get amazing feedback and I just wanted to add mine as I feel incredibly moved by what you're doing and the difference I know you make to peoples lives. I know from experience how much you have improved things . I also really liked your blog post about Noah wondering where the other Daddy was.
Tania,
Many thanks for the magazine. I thought it was really easy to read and is particularly engaging. I liked the relevance to the LGBT communities and their families (and families-to-be!). I liked the comments from your company ie "our view is..."
The information and adverts are relevant and show a great deal of depth that I wasn't aware of previously. I liked the Lesbian father piece.
I felt it was a well-rounded magazine and usually I don't have time to read a whole issue of something but read it cover to cover.

reader's letter, issue 4
It was fantastic to discover your magazine via The Guardian. I’ve had a look at your online summer issue and I am very impressed.
After years of feeling alienated from the usual menu of media-content aimed at us (consumer ‘ lifestyle’ and sex-toys etc) and therefore not buying any of these, it is so refreshing to discover a magazine that I will actually want to read and be able to relate to. And our daughter was just SO pleased to hear that there is a magazine for ‘us’. I get the sense that for some children of LGBT parents coming across positive media coverage is really good. When The Dumping Ground featured a lesbian couple adopting a child with special educational needs, she chatted about it endlessly. Usually, she is quite reticent about such things!
Many thanks,
Rita, Oxford

Hi
I’m not LGBT myself, but after reading about your story in The Guardian (14th September 2013), I just wanted to let you know how admirable and inspiring I find your magazine.I have had many a conversation with my relatively conservative family lately over the passage of the gay marriage bill (or mariage pour tous – marriage for all – as we call it in France) particularly centred around adoption and IVF for same-sex couples. I think the reservations they have are in large part due to the lack of visibility in our society of how normal, loving, happy, and healthy families with same-sex parents can be.
Thank you, and I wish you the best of luck with your magazine!
Claire, France
