\nYou may have read Lindsey Steinert\u2019s recent story on the Huffington Post, I Had Two Gay Dads Decades Before It Was \u2018Cool\u2019<\/a>. Now she is the newest member of the Outspoken Generation<\/strong><\/a> – Family Equality Council\u2019s program that connects people who have LGBTQ parents with opportunities to speak out.<\/p>\n

Lindsey Steinert is a New York-based actor, writer and ally. Her dads have been together for 40 years making Lindsey among the first generation of children with openly gay parents. After spending the first 11 years of her life in Manhattan, New York, Lindsey\u2019s dads moved her and her 4 younger siblings (consisting of 2 sets of twins!) to San Diego, California. Upon recognizing the lack of resources offered to kids like her, Lindsey created \u201cMy Family Matters,\u201d the first workshop for children of same-sex parents which she moderated through the San Diego LGBT Center.<\/p>\n

In 2014 Lindsey wrote \u201cUpstream Swimming,\u201d the first known one-woman show to be written and performed by a child of same-sex parents. The show, which chronicles her upbringing and her life in general, was named a \u201cBest Seller\u201d at the United Solo Theatre Festival, and a TimeOut New York \u201cCritics\u2019 Pick.\u201d<\/p>\n
