Over the past two decades, LGBTQ Families Day has brought together a wide array of parents from all walks of life—those who identify as LGBTQ, parents of LGBTQ children, children of LGBTQ parents, and allies. Scheduled for the first weekday of June, this day not only kicks off Pride Month but also thoughtfully sits between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, recognizing that family structures can vary widely beyond the traditional model of one mother and one father.
Originally founded by the acclaimed parenting site Mombian in 2006 as Blogging for LGBTQ Families Day, this celebration is supported by various organizations, including PFLAG National, GLAAD, the Human Rights Campaign, and more.
“The past two decades have seen remarkable progress for LGBTQ families,” said Jamie Carter, a leader in LGBTQ advocacy. “However, as we face growing anti-LGBTQ sentiments, it’s crucial that we unite in love and resilience to continue our fight for equality. I invite both new and returning voices to join us in this year’s celebration.”
As we recognize LGBTQ Families Day, we also want to remind aspiring parents about the various resources available for family building.
