Out and Proud Parents Day

by

July 30th is Out and Proud Parents Day where we ask Proud Parents of LGBTQI+ children to come out and be role models within their community. We understand the importance of parental role models within communities helping other parents accept their LGBTQI+ children.

What happens on 30th July?
On this day, every year, we invite proud parents of LGBTQI+ children (all ages), from all backgrounds, to stand up and come out publicly as Proud Parents so we can celebrate them and their love for their LGBTQI+ children.

On social media, using the hashtag #OutAndProudParentsDay, we ask parents to share videos, photos or messages from themselves affirming their love and acceptance towards their LGBTQI+ child. By using the hashtag #OutAndProudParentsDay in each post we can bring all the messages together to help create a huge wave of positive love and LGBTQI+ acceptance.

What’s the objective?
The objective of the day is to create parental role models within communities, to help inspire other parents of LGBTQI+ children to become more understanding and accepting of their own children.

Any parent who needs a help, guidance, or a positive role model can follow the #OutAndProudParentsDay to meet and learn from a growing number of proud parents.

In 2021 we reached nearly 1.7 million people with the annual campaign.

Parapride’s ‘Dis-Section’ – Disability & Sexuality: The Naked Truth – LGBTQ+ & Body Positive

by

Sex and sexuality are favourite topics among mainstream LGBTQ+ society, however, disability is frequently left out of the conversations. Is disability considered incompatible to sex-related topics?
During this event will be talking about disability and sex positivity around different bodies, and being able to express ourselves freely.
‘Dis-section’, (disability section), is an inclusive and safe digital space brought to you by Parapride; as the name suggests phonetically, we ‘dissect’ and scrutinise topics that are often not talked about in the wider LGBTQ+ society.
Along with our line up of expert panellists we will converse openly, honestly and respectfully about disability, intimacy, sex, love & dating, the gay hook-up culture, as well as the stigmas and taboo that surround these aspects of our disabled community.

We will provide BSL interpreters and live closed captions, and descriptive language will be used.

Parapride is an empowerment charity that advocates for the visibility, education and awareness of LGBTQ+ disabled people. We are a non-profit registered charity entirely run by volunteers. Your generous donations will help us produce more events like this one. Please continue to support us.
