I had an idea earlier this week. A brainstorm, really.

It happened as I was thinking about Atlanta Pride, which is this weekend, and about BlogHer, a conference for women bloggers that I’m going to in Chicago later this summer.

I realized that what I really needed was a LesbianFamily.org t-shirt — and maybe some that other people would enjoy. And it turns out that with the help of CafePress, and the fact that we already had a really cool logo, I didn’t need a whole lot of design skill to put together something that actually looks good.

Or so I think, anyway. That’s the core of the design, although you can also get one that has the blog tagline, or one that says “Friend of the Family.”

The CafePress people give you 14 days to try out their “premium store” and then you either have to pay them or scale back to only one item per design, so I suspect the variety will diminish in about 2 weeks.

Also? 50% of the profits from this store will go to support organizations that work to protect gay and lesbian families.

Hopefully I’ll have action shots of the t-shirts this weekend.
