Family Equality Festival (7 – 17 May, 2017) Moscow

The very first Family Equality Festival will take place in Moscow, Russia, on May 7 – 17, 2017.

It is a unique event hosted by “Resource LGBTQIA Moscow”, centre for social, psychological and cultural projects, and is linked to the International Family Equality Day (IFED) celebrated on May 7th this year as well as to the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT) which will focus on family equality.

The Family Equality Festival is a gathering of families, an opportunity for families to get to know each other, whether they are alike or different, a chance to express themselves through creative arts and sports, to learn about their rights, to discuss relevant issues and look for solutions together. It is a celebration of diversity and a ceremony of recognising the importance of every family regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or any other characteristics.

We invite LGBTQIA families and their loved ones, the LGBTQIA community and all those to whom the values of partnership, family, love and mutual support matter.
