Nijiiro Kazoku was started in 2010 with the desire to talk to other LGBT people who are raising children.
Although society is changing, it is still not easy for LGBT people to have children. Even within the LGBT community, many people feel uncomfortable talking about raising children, and are hesitant to be open about it to society.
That is why we want to play a role in gently connecting LGBT people who are raising or want to raise children with those around them.
The Rainbow Family values diversity.
The people connected to Rainbow Family come from very diverse backgrounds.
Diverse sexualities, such as LGBT.
Gender and nationality.
The origins of the family
(Single parents, step families, foster parents, etc.).
How to greet children,
Whether or not they have come out.
They live in areas all over Japan and the world.
We also have many allies who support us.
We aim to be a place where LGBT people can talk about the issues and concerns they face when trying to have and raise children, as well as the events that occur in their daily lives, without leaving behind the voices of various minority groups.
If you "may" be LGBT, if you "may" want to have children someday, or if you're an ally, come connect with us.
＜What the Rainbow Family Aims for＞
1: Creating a place for LGBT families
If you feel like you don't have any friends around you, please come!
It is still difficult for LGBT families to find other families like themselves in their daily lives.
If you have questions like "What do you do in times like this?" or have daily events and thoughts that you would like to share, like "This happened!", please come and connect with the many families that gather at Nijiiro Kazoku.
2: Visibility of LGBT families
We will send a message to society saying, "We are here."
We will visualize the message that "we are a family that exists everywhere" and convey this to many people, in educational settings, businesses, and government organizations.
Every family has the same wish: "To make their children happy." We aim to create a society where families of all kinds can be themselves.
