Celebrating 40 Years of Family Equality!
Founded in 1979 at the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, the organization that grew into Family Equality was driven by the same fundamental inequality that drives our work today:
that caring, loving parents are being denied equal opportunity to form and sustain families because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
