Our oldest came out to us as transgender in 2015. Now, we have two daughters and a son, but we're essentially the same family – except that maybe with our hearts opened a bit wider. When we told our two younger children that their brother truly felt she was a sister, we were worried they would resist the change, but they barely skipped a beat. We couldn't be more proud of the way that they wrapped their minds and arms around their big sister. They're all fantastic kids! -Kate Hall

What is a family?  The Valentine's current exhibit "One Love: LGBT Families" asks this question.  In partnership with OutRVA and Michael Simon Photography, the exhibit runs through September 4, 2017.
