For too long, 2SLGBTQI+ communities have solely carried the burden of fighting for their own safety, dignity, and inclusion - often at great personal cost. It’s up to everyone to bridge the gap between legal rights and lived experience by practicing active allyship in our daily lives.

Small actions can make a big difference in helping 2SLGBTQI+ communities feel safe and welcome.

June is Pride Month — a time to celebrate 2SLGBTQI+ communities, honour lived experiences, and recognize the importance of inclusion, safety, and belonging.

At Family Services Ottawa, we are committed to supporting individuals and families through affirming, accessible counselling, programs, and education that foster understanding and connection.

Everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and supported. 🏳️‍🌈💙

LGBTQ+ Families Day was created in 2006, representing parents across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, parents of LGBTQ+ children, LGBTQ+ individuals, children of LGBTQ+ parents, and non-LGBTQ+ family members and allies. The event is held at the start of June, between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, in order to honour all parents but also to highlight that not all families have one mother and one father. Additionally, June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month.
