Out And Proud Parents Day

July 30th

#OutAndProudParentsDay

July 30th is Out and Proud Parents Day where we invite Proud Parents of LGBTQI+ children to come out and be role models within their community using the hashtag #OutAndProudParentsDay

We understand the importance of parental role models within communities helping other parents accept their LGBTQI+ children.

We are inviting all proud parents of LGBTQI+ individuals to take part on 30th July – to help inspire other parents to open their arms and accept their child.

This year we are celebrating the 5th Anniversary of Out and Proud Parents Day by launching an exciting new podcast!

Meet Saima, and out and proud parent of two LGBTQ+ children.

Throughout this podcast series, Saima invites other parents to join her in sharing their moments of joy and the challenges they have faced along the way. These parents are bursting with pride and can’t wait to share it with you.

Out and Proud Parents Podcast, and Out and Proud Parents Day are community projects produced by Naz and Matt Foundation, made possible by the National Lottery Community Fund.
