vision & mission ::

> Our Vision :: Love. Justice. Family. Equality.

All loving families should be recognized, respected, protected and celebrated. We believe that families are not truly defined by blood relationship, but instead by love and commitment.

We believe in the freedom of a just society to define our own families—to stand proudly with the people closest to us in our lives and be able to say, “because of who you are, what you mean to me, how we treat each other and our deep commitment to one another, we are a family!”

We envision a country that celebrates a diversity of family constellations and that respects and commends individuals for stepping up, supporting one another and creating families.

This movement, this struggle is not about gay or straight, it’s simply about family equality.

> Our Mission :: Family Pride is committed to achieving family equality in our lifetime!

Family Pride works with other progressive national and state-based organizations, local parents groups and families, friends and allies to make change, share information and build community.

Maintaining the focus of LGBTQ parents and their families, in 2005, Family Pride expanded our mission and embraced the fight for full family equality for all loving families.

We recognize and believe that the laws, provisions and ordinances that hurt LGBTQ-headed families also hurt so many others—single parents, blended families, families of color, etc. To that end, Family Pride is standing strong to defeat anti-family legislation and promote pro-family legislation.
