Photo: Pinta Pride Project A 16-year-old and her mom in Illinois are making the holidays brighter for LGBTQ+ folks without family. Carolyn Pinta and her daughter Molly organized a card-writing campaign in the aftermath of the Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs in November. Working with Facebook group Home for the Holidays, which is dedicated to connecting LGBTQ+ people who can't go home for the holidays due to family circumstances, Carolyn put together a spreadsheet with the names and addresses of people who could use some holiday cheer.
