Whether it’s the family you are born into or the family you choose OR both!!! Stand up for those you love, support them and love them without conditions!! 🫂🏳️‍🌈🫂🏳️‍⚧️

Family values aren’t a slogan. They’re how we love, protect and stand up for the people we care about most.

Throughout LGBTQ+ History Month, we’ll be honoring those who chose love over fear, celebrating history makers, and sharing ways you can show up for your community today.

🔁 Share to help others feel less alone.

No public comment. No input from families. We refuse to be powerless.

The rollback of Title IX protections can't eliminate what we stand for. Here's how you can help, too:
🌈 Share this post
🌈 Contact your members of Congress
🌈 Ask your school board to adopt or keep local nondiscrimination protections
🌈 Support your local LGBTQIA+ community through freemomhugs.org
