🩷 Visibility isn’t just about being seen — it’s about being recognised, understood, and supported in all aspects of life.

🌈 We at Intercom would like to celebrate LGBT+ parents and carers today, and all our LGBT+ families that we have the privilege to work with
intercomtrustlgbt.bsky.social
🩷 This year’s theme, Visibility, focuses on bringing our community into the spotlight. We believe that visibility is key to breaking down the barriers that exist for LGBT+ parents and carers. By making our experiences known, we can inspire change and inclusivity.

🩷 LGBT+ Parents & Carers Day from Proud 2 b Parents aims to bridge this gap by shedding light on the narratives, struggles, joys, and achievements of our community. This day is more than a celebration; it's a call to action for increased awareness, representation, visibility, and acknowledgment
