Empower Equality

July 14, 2025,

Article By: Zara Shea, Notary Public

We invite you to support the LGBTQ Notary Association in 2025. Our mission is to provide free notarizations for low-income LGBTQ individuals who face discrimination and harassment. Your donation fuels website upkeep, program development, scholarships, administrative support, special events and our transition to 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.

Following recent legislative actions under the new 47 regime, LGBTQ communities are under intensified bias and attack. Sexual orientation and gender identity are innate traits safeguarded by the U.S. Constitution. Addressing these injustices is an act of impartiality that upholds equal protection for all, whether LGBTQ, Black or any group targeted for inherent characteristics.

How Your Donation Helps

  1. Free Notarizations, ensures LGBTQ clients in need can complete essential legal processes at no cost.
  2. Website Hosting and Licensing, covers hosting and licensing expenses to maintain a robust online platform.
  3. Programs and Scholarships, funds mentorship, training and scholarships that foster community growth.
  4. Administrative Support, enables hiring staff for timely responses and seamless operations.
  5. Special Events and Outreach, underwrites events that raise awareness and broaden our reach.
  6. 501(c)(3) Status, accelerates our nonprofit application to unlock grants and expand services.

Her Name Held in Light

Poem By: Zara Shea, Notary Public

Stephanie walks through the city each day,
Hopes the stares and whispers won’t drag her astray,
Cruel words bite and rattle like gravel and glass,
Trying to tell her she’s not a woman, so crass.

She patches her wounds with a steady stride,
Yet venom still follows, refusing to subside,
Even her doorway can’t quiet the fear,
Of who might arrive and what hate she’ll hear.

When papers need seals and her future needs ink,
She trembles to think what a stranger might think,
Will they judge her reflection, refuse to show grace,
Or honor her truth with compassion in place?

Then Stephanie finds peace when her cursor clicks,
Revealing the LGBTQ Friendly Notary Directory mix;
Handpicked by LGBTQ Notary Association’s name,
Each notary pledges impartiality and treats her the same.

A mobile professional crosses her floor,
Kindness flowing through hallway and door,
Their stamp on the page rings a promise of peace,
Her breathing grows calm, and her worries release.

Within her home, bias meets no dwelling place,
Her documents are sealed, calm softening her face,
LGBTQ Notary Association stands there to care,
Offering impartial hands, she finds solace there.

Now papers complete, her spirit renewed,
She steps past the pavement with proof in her view,
The world may still mutter its ignorant spite,
Yet her signature shines, and her future is bright.
