June is LGBT2SQ+ Pride Month!
Pride month celebrates diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions. Pride is an important time to reflect on LGBT2SQ+ history, struggles and progress.
NEOFACS is committed to providing services that are welcoming, safe, and non-judgemental for all children, youth and families, including those in our LGBT2SQ+ community. We support families of all stripes!
This includes recognizing and respecting the needs of all children and youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, Two-Spirit, queer, questioning and otherwise gender independent (LGBT2SQ+). We further recognize and respect the family constellations of those we serve.
Happy Pride!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
