SUPPORT LGBTQ+ FAMILIES

What do you envision when you see the word FAMILY?

If you have a preconceived notion of what a family looks like, that idea probably comes from your own life experiences. But does it reflect the diversity of families in the world today, including LGBTQ+ (or Rainbow) families?

Did you know that over 1/3 of adults who identify as lesbian, gay or trans are also parents? With a record number of U.S. adults identifying as LGBTQ+, the number of Rainbow families could continue to grow.

Rainbow families have unique life experiences and face unique challenges. With a little knowledge, sensitivity and self-awareness, you can affirm, celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ families in your early childhood community.
