This year, equality in rights with heteronormative families and school education in family diversity, sexual orientation and gender identity is claimed.
There is no a single family model and absolutely all are equally valid:
«We want to continue to claim that there is no single family model and celebrate love beyond gender identity and the origin of our families»
