Event Description


"I ♥ My LGBTQ Family" Launch

The LGBTQ Parenting Network & Small Print present:
“I ♥ My LGBTQ Family” Launch!

This cabaret event will celebrate the release of the LGBTQ Parenting Network’s “I ♥ My LGBTQ Family” cards, celebrating the parents, caregivers, and other important people in the lives of kids in LGBTQ families.

LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer) families are awesome! They come in many shapes and sizes; some have more than one mom or dad, some have none, and, hey, some have a whole team!

Illustrated by local artists, these cards celebrate all the amazing people that love and support kids in LGBTQ families. Give one to a special person in your life on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or any day that celebrates the people you love!

Please join us Saturday, May 1, for a heart-filled cabaret at the Gladstone Hotel. In collaboration with Toronto’s Small Print, producers of many fabulous literary events for kids from tot to teen, the “I ♥ My LGBTQ Family” event will include a morning writing workshop for teens with LGBTQ parents (see below) and an afternoon of music (featuring Toronto’s Pink Moth), readings, and crafts for tots!

Writing Workshop: “I (really do) ♥ My LGBTQ Family”
Open to youth 12 – 19 years old.

Are you part of an LGBTQ family? Do you like writing? Do you want to tell the story of YOUR LGBTQ family?

We are looking for youth 12 – 19 years old to take part in a morning writing workshop by Toronto authors Billeh Nickerson and Mariko Tamaki. If you are interested in taking part, please send a paragraph about your family to mtamaki@sherbourne.on.ca. Pieces created in this workshop will be presented at the “I ♥ My LGBTQ Family” launch.
