Monday, June 2, 2025, is the 20th Annual LGBTQ Families Day, a time to celebrate the many families with LGBTQ people in them. The event aims to raise awareness of the diversity, joys, and challenges of all LGBTQ families—found, formed, and chosen—and to show their strength, elevate their collective stories, and reaffirm allies’ support.
LGBTQ Families Day was developed by the award-winning LGBTQ-parenting site Mombian and is sponsored by nonprofits Family Equality, PFLAG National, GLAAD, GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD Law), the Human Rights Campaign, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, COLAGE, and GWK Academy, and by businesses Gays With Kids, PregnantTogether, the Queer Family Podcast, Gay Moms Club, babyREADY, and OurShelves. Since 2006 (originally as Blogging for LGBTQ Families Day), the day has engaged 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 on the first weekday of June, between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, in order to honor all parents but also to highlight that not all families fit into the traditional structure of one mother and one father.
