International Family Equality Day

International Family Equality Day (IFED) is here! Falling annually on the first Sunday of May, it lands, this year, on the 5th and is a tip of the cap to the diversity of LGBTQ+ families everywhere. It’s about promoting acceptance, equality, and celebrating the kaleidoscopic diversity of families across our world. Because, y’know, ‘love makes a family’ – and that’s the motto of today!  

Families come in all shapes and sizes. And today celebrates that in a heap of ways – from community picnics, to workshops, art exhibitions, or organised marches, aiming to raise awareness and support legal recognition for LGBTQ+ families. Online platforms and social media also play a mighty role, especially in regions where open celebration can be tricky. However you take part – even if it’s just raising the rainbow flag – showing support and allyship is what it’s all about.
