What’s Your Story?
At the heart of Women like us are the real-life stories of LGBTQ+ women. Sharing our stories is so important to our community because it shows us that whatever we have been through, we are not alone. We share our successes and failures, our good times and bad, so that other women are inspired and reassured. If you have a story to share, please email lgbtqwomenlikeus@gmail.com.
