LGBTQ family activists from around the world gathered for the first ever International Symposium of LGBTQ parenting organizations in Florida. The symposium provided an opportunity to establish ongoing international cooperation in areas such as research, visibility and advocacy, and the development of resources and programs for LGBTQ families worldwide. It was led by Family Equality Council, America’s foremost advocate for LGBT families, the Network of European LGBTIQ* Families Associations (NELFA) and the Canadian LGBT Parenting Network based in Toronto.
One of the key outcomes was to celebrate the International Family Equality Day, a official LGBT awareness day, which will take place every year on the first Sunday in May.
