History: 30 Years in the Making
How did the largest annual gathering of LGBTQ+ families come to be? In the mid-90’s, Tim Fisher and Scott Davenport brought their daughter, Kati, and son, Fritz, to Provincetown for a vacation. After a week of meeting other gay and lesbian parents at the beach, they invited about 15 of those families to their rental for dinner—and so the magic of Family Week was created!
In the decades that followed, Family Week evolved to become a safe haven for all queer-identified families—found, formed, and chosen—to create friendship and fun. In fact, we welcomed almost 600 families and more than 1,300 individuals to Family Week in 2025!

I loved being in community with other LGBTQ+ families.
I knew [Family Week] would be spectacular, and it exceeded every expectation. Family Equality did such thoughtful programming!
Community Agreements
Family Week is a time when we celebrate, value, and respect the diversity of our community and our families. In the spirit of equity and accessibility for all participants, we ask attendees, participants, vendors and sponsors to commit to the following guiding values.
If you have questions, concerns, or need assistance regarding these Community Agreements or issues of access, please contact a Family Equality.
Be respectful of all families attending Family Week and the right to self-identify. This includes religious identities, gender identity, etc. Please don’t make assumptions.
Be aware of your privileges (gender, racial, size, economic, language, family structure, ability) and share space generously.
Recognize that everyone has multiple and intersecting identities, and some may not be visible to you.
Ask people of all ages for permission before taking their pictures or including them in your video. “Photo-Shy” badges are also available at registration for any attendee who does not wish to have their photo taken.
Ask for consent before hugs, high-fives, and other forms of physical contact. (Tip – Giving options can be very helpful! Ex: “Do you want a hug or a high five?” instead of just asking “Do you want a hug?”)
Abuse, bullying and harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. Harassment can include sexual harassment or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature
Ask everyone for their name and pronouns (not just the people you assume to be trans/nonbinary), and offer your name and pronouns as you are comfortable. If you don’t know a person’s pronouns, use their name and/or they/them pronouns until you confirm with them.
Use gender-inclusive language (e.g., friends, grown-ups, kiddos, children, partner, family)
Listen to transgender and gender non-conforming people’s needs and stories when they are volunteered, but also respect privacy and boundaries by avoiding unnecessary questions.
If you mess up and accidentally misgender someone, the best thing you can do is correct yourself, apologize, and move on!
Everyone has a right to use the accommodations that they need. Do not assume someone’s ability status, gender, or individual needs.
Service animals are working – please do not pet them, feed them, interact with them, or ask about their purpose.
When speaking to someone using a sign language interpreter, address the person you are speaking with, not the interpreter. If an interpreter is not present, you can use pen and paper or a cell phone to communicate through text to ask the person their preferred method of communication.
