This Sunday, May 5, marks the second annual International Family Equality Day, when LGBTQ family organizations from around the world will join forces to raise the visibility of our families. Over 40 cities around the world will be hosting events, including ones in the US, Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia. Find out if there’s one near you!
Although the actual observance is only in its second year, it had its origins back in July 2011, with the first International Symposium of LGBTQ parenting organizations. The participating organizations established International Family Equality Day to be the first Sunday in May every year.
Don’t forget to celebrate here in the blogosphere on June 3, too, when I will be hosting the 8th Annual Blogging for LGBT Families Day, a time for all bloggers to post in support of LGBT families! More reasons to party!
