The symposium led to the creation of an online databank of resources for same-sex couples with children.[3] Family Equality Council launched an initiative called "The Outspoken Generation" in April 2012, with young adult children of LGBT parents as its spokespersons. The co-chairs were Zach Wahls, the son of a lesbian couple who came to public attention after his testimony before an Iowa legislative hearing went viral on YouTube, and Ella Robinson, the daughter of New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson.[4] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.familyequality.org|title=Family Equality - Family Equality Council|last=Familyequality.org|website=Family Equality Council|language=en|access-date=2017-11-19}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=History - Family Equality Council|url=https://www.familyequality.org/about_us/about_us/history/|website=Family Equality Council|accessdate=12 December 2017|language=en}} 3. ^Gambone, 56-7 4. ^Huffington Post: Zach Wahls To Co-Chair 'Outspoken Generation,' Gay Parents' Initiative For Adult Children, With Ella Robinson," April 6, 2012, accessed May 29, 2012 Sources
