The LGBT+ Family Coalition team is moved and excited to announce the organization’s 25th anniversary! 25 years for the Coalition is not just two and a half decades of existence for a community organisation. It’s 25 years of struggles for 2SLGBTQ+ rights. It’s 25 years of political advocacy. It\u2019s the training and sensitization of a network of more than 50,000 professional allies in health, social services, and education. Thousands of families have been created thanks to our workshops, our member services and our tools. Countless 2SLGBTQ+ parents and children have found support, friends, or mutual aid at our activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rather than a classic retrospective, the Coalition has chosen to present the varied stories of more than 30 families, because it is for these realities, for the tens of thousands of 2SLGBTQ+ families in Quebec, that the team works day after day. To delight your eyes and ears, the organization will launch a photo exhibit that will tour the province, as well as a podcast that will be available on all your favorite listening platforms. Through these stories, you will discover different experiences, rich perspectives, inspiring progress, and the struggles to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come and meet around thirty 2SLGBTQ+ families from different backgrounds and cultures. Through photographs and audio extracts, they will tell you their unique stories: single parent, two-parent, multi-parent families; adoption, in-clinic fertility treatments or at home inseminations, surrogacy, surprise pregnancies; biological families, extended families, chosen families; \u201cout and proud\u201d or more discreet families; religious, spiritual or atheist families\u2026 The LGBT+ Family Coalition proudly presents this diversity to celebrate its 25 years of struggle, love, hope, and past and future social change. Long live our community!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each opening will be an opportunity to celebrate, as a community, our acquired rights, the multiple identities, and the intimate ties that unite our families. The events will offer speeches, animated activities for families, entertainment for young and old, snacks and drinks (with or without alcohol) and a daycare corner for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
