What is "colage"

COLAGE (originally abbreviated from Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere) is an organization created in 1990 by the children of several lesbian and gay male couples who felt a need for support.

COLAGE is run and operated by people of all ages who have a LGBTQ parent or parents. Older Colagers mentor younger members, preparing them for challenges that a child may face having same-sex parents. Every summer COLAGE comes to Family Pride annual Family Week in Provincetown on Cape Cod. There, hundreds of gay families attend COLAGE meetings and workshops.

COLAGE is currently a virtual organization and has a small paid staff. Its executive director is Annie Van Avery who has a gay father and a lesbian mother. The national program coordinator is Robin Marquis who was raised by her lesbian mom and bisexual mom with the help of her two gay dads.
