What is Family Pride?:
Family Pride is a national non-profit organization that advocates for family equality for all loving families, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer parents, guardians and allies through respect and understanding. The Washington D.C.-based organization began in 1979 and believes provisions and ordinances that hurt LGBTQ-headed families also hurt so many others—single parents, blended families, families of color, etc.

LGBT Families at the White House Easter Egg Roll:
Each year, the White House holds an Easter Egg Roll. Families participate in activities such as games and egg decorating. Family Pride organizes a group of LGBTQ-headed families to participate in the Egg Roll. Their presence increases awareness of LGBTQ-headed families and allows these families to participate in a nationwide family celebration.
