Rainbow Family Initiative

■ Activities to connect with and support those involved

● Holding social gatherings and study sessions for those involved

In addition to real events, online events,
There are also "events exclusive to support members" that you can participate in with peace of mind.

Past activities
・A seminar on "gender neutral pre-parenting" from a midwife
・Study sessions for LGBT foster parents
・Meetings to hear from "children raised by LGBT parents" etc.

We also provide time for people to talk about topics that tend to be underrepresented, such as gay fathers, international couples, single parents, and step families.

In the summer of 2025, we plan to hold a "Children's Summit" that will bring together "children raised by LGBT parents"!

●Connect at pride events across the country

We have been exhibiting booths at pride events across the country, including in Sapporo, Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyushu, for over 10 years.
We are holding a "Rainbow Family Photo Exhibition" in our booth to share the lives of LGBT families across Japan.
We plan to expand to even more regions in the future!
