To celebrate International Family Equality Day (IFED) May 5th, and International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) May 17th, this year, we did a project to encourage schools to show their support for rainbow students, families and teachers, and to revisit important discussions around embracing and respecting diversity and bias-based bullying. The webpage produced included:
info encouraging parents to let school know they wanted them to celebrate IFED and/or IDAHOBIT (including a sample letter)
social media content for parents to send to their friends to encourage support
info about running their own event, including how to access free school kits
and a big update to our resources for parents and teachers to use, when talking to kids and young people around family diversity, sexual diversity and gender diversity.
some suggestions for talking to adults or children who make unsupportive comments about any of the above.
