International Family Equality Day (held on the 1st Sunday of May) is a national 2-SLGBTQ+ awareness day that celebrates the diversity of families globally. This international day brings awareness to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages. While also aiming to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development and justice for inclusive institutions for all.
By celebrating International Family Equality Day, Family Equality and our partners across the globe raise awareness among politicians and the general public about the need for equal treatment and recognition for all families, regardless of the sexual orientation or gender identity of their family’s members.
![Join us next week for this month's Queer Literary Society session!
This upcoming Friday, September 29, we'll meet at noon in our library to connect over September's Book of the Month: "Chicana Lesbians: The Girls Our Mothers Warned Us About," edited by Carla Trujillo. As always, we'll have coffee, tea, snacks, and a lovely discussion led by Courtney, our MSW Intern!
The event is free, with no sign-up or registration needed; all are welcome! Feel free to bring a friend, a partner, a roommate, a reading buddy, or whoever you'd like!
