Today is the 20th Annual LGBTQ Families Day! Join us in a united show of love, joy, and resilience to celebrate all families with LGBTQ people in them. Share a family photo, anecdote, or words of support, with hashtag #LGBTQFamiliesDay!
Thanks to nonprofits Family Equality, PFLAG National, GLAAD, GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD Law), the Human Rights Campaign, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, COLAGE, and GWK Academy, and by businesses Gays With Kids, PregnantTogether, the Queer Family Podcast, Gay Moms Club, babyREADY, and OurShelves for their sponsorship of the event and for all they do year ’round for LGBTQ families. Thanks also to the many other organizations and individuals who have helped spread the word.
The event wouldn’t succeed, however, without all the LGBTQ parents and prospective parents, parents of LGBTQ kids, children of LGBTQ parents, other LGBTQ individuals, and allies who take part, and who do so much every day for their families and for all LGBTQ families. That means you—so thank you!
