Most of you know of my lovely husband, Laurence. He's an amazing man. So amazing that I could write a book about him, but instead I'd like for his legal documents to match the name we all know and love him by: Laurence.
I'm offering to draw for some donations, if you're interested. Samples of my art is below.
And if you can't spare anything, please spread the word! It's worth a lot more than you may realize.
More Info: This may come as a surprise to some, but Laurence is a transgender man and has been living as male for over a decade. It's embarrassing and anxiety provoking to pay for things or even sell things when your legal name doesn't match who you are. It has deterred this artistic man from promoting and selling his work in shows and events. Even something as fun as eating out once in a while can be stressful when you have to show ID for alcoholic drinks or pay for food with a credit card showing a name often associated with the opposite sex.
But it doesn't have to be this way! With a little help from you and other kindly awesome folks, Laurence can get the name change he deserves. It's long overdue. It'd be a great way to celebrate his birthday by starting the name change process. After all, we're celebrating who he is, not who he wasn't.
Above all else, it's important to be comfortable and happy. So, please help me eliminate this anxiety and see this awesome photographer/friend/husband/cat-dad be his true and best self everyday and always.
GIFT DETAILS: To help promote donations, I'm donating my art skills. Please understand I have a Full Time Job and will get to Gifts as soon as possible but it may take a couple weeks to complete, depending on the details.
