Family Diversity Projects is so proud to be a sponsor of the Transhealth Freedom to be Ourselves Annual Benefit on Saturday, May 16th at 7:30pm at the Academy of Music in Northampton, MA. Join us as we celebrate and support Transhealth’s mission of protecting and expanding access to gender-affirming care with an unforgettable evening that will illuminate the power of hope, the warmth of joy, and the courage required to live authentically.

Joined this year by special guest Mercury Stardust, we’ll ask about her experience being invited into people’s homes and hearts as “The Trans Handy Ma’am” and as an educator, author, performance artist, fundraiser and advocate for trans rights and healthcare. We’ll talk with them about where she finds joy in difficult times, how she uses creativity and craft as tools for health and wellness, why showing up for our communities is so important, and—as someone with an influential platform—what her advice is to anyone wanting to use their own voice to make a difference in the world.

Tickets are live and available for purchase! All are welcome. Wheelchair accessible and ASL interpreting.

Celebrate trans and nonbinary people in your neighborhood with Authentic Selves! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Developed in collaboration with PFLAG National and Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund, Family Diversity Project’s traveling exhibit, Authentic Selves, explores gender identity while offering a compelling look at the challenges and the triumphs of remarkable trans and nonbinary people, and their loved ones. With stunning photographs and first-person interviews, this exhibit seeks to challenge damaging myths and stereotypes about trans and nonbinary people and to educate people about this community.

Authentic Selves can be used in schools, colleges, houses of worship, libraries, museums, conferences, and workplaces to help create safer environments. Bring this celebratory exhibit to your community, along with the companion book, which features a foreword by trans activist, Jazz Jennings, and her mother Jeanette, as well as a preface by Brian K. Bond, CEO of PFLAG National.

Visit familydiversityprojects.org to learn more about the traveling exhibit, and buy the book at our PFLAG Bookshop at bookshop.org/shop/pflag!

As Family Week in Provincetown approaches, we're feeling extra grateful for Family Equality - a pioneer in LGBTQ+ family advocacy since 1979. From its roots as the Gay Fathers Coalition to launching the first Family Week 30 years ago, Family Equality (now in partnership with COLAGE) continues to champion, support, and celebrate LGBTQ+ families through advocacy, storytelling, and community. We'll see you at ***rJoy

I had a wonderful time with my spouse Helen at Family Equality's Night at the Pier gala in New York City last night, where a record-breaking crowd turned out in support of the 46-year-old organization's vital work for LGBTQ families.

The most powerful tool we have for safety is each other.

All Pride, we remember that the roots of our movement for trans liberation run deep. Our transcestors believed in collective liberation. From the first Pride to today we say abolish ICE, abolish prisons, and abolish all detention.

Peggy Gillespie Is the Anti-DeSantis, Anti-Trump, Pro-Love Hero We Need 🌈💥

She’s been amplifying LGBTQIA+ families and multiracial families for over 30 years—long before it was trendy or tolerated. She’s fought court battles, faced censorship, and never stopped telling the stories the right wants banned.
