California, here we come!
Family Pride on Jan 10th 2007
It is a politically important time for our families in California. More ballot measures are on their way; the time to prepare is now.
Family Pride is thrilled to be partnering with Our Family Coalition, San Diego Family Matters, L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s Family Services Program and COLAGE. Our OUTSpoken trainings are organized by the California Family Unity Network (CalFUN). Together, we are inviting LGBTQ-parented families, youth and adults with one or more LGBT parent, and allies from all over California to participate this new year in Family Pride’s OUTSpoken Families Speakers Bureau.
OUTSpoken Families, the speakers bureau, is engaging over 700 parents and allies across the country to share the reality of our families’ lives, combating the radical right’s misinformation crusade on LGBTQ-parented families.
The comprehensive and interactive OUTSpoken trainings that we are offering in California will equip LGBTQ-headed families and their allies to be effective and knowledgeable speakers and advocates.
In addition to responding to media opportunities and speaking requests, OUTSpoken families will seek out opportunities to share the reality of their lives with legislators, faith and school communities, and community and civic organizations.
In conjunction with Family Pride’s OUTSpoken Training for adults, COLAGE will be offering their Speak OUT Media training for youth and adults with LGBT parents. Check out the locations and dates below, and RSVP for the training near you today!
