All families are different. All families are changing.
This Pride, we're celebrating all the families of the LGBTIQ community around the world, in all their wonderful shapes and sizes, for the support they provide and the pride that they create. No family is the same as anyone else's. No one else's family is the same as yours. That's what makes them yours. That's what makes them Family.
Tell us what makes your family by recording a 30-60-second “Family Pride” video in any language, and tell us what family means to you or share a special story. Post it on any social media channel and tag @outrightintl #FamilyPride.

For the 11th year, Advocacy Week has been organized by Outright's team to bring activists from around the world and give them the opportunity to speak on the state of LGBTIQ issues in their countries. Here is a special coverage of the Intersex Roundtable Discussion hosted by Outright's Advisros for Global Intersex Rights Kimberly Zieselman.
