Across the world, the fight for family recognition continues. Over three decades, landmark court rulings in South Africa, France, and Thailand have secured critical protections for same-sex couples and queer and trans parents, setting new legal precedents for family rights.

But full recognition of LGBTIQ families must go beyond marriage. It must include legal parenthood, property and inheritance rights, and protections against discrimination. Outright is spotlighting these victories and pushing for broader protections that ensure every family—regardless of composition or identity—is fully recognized under the law.

Outright's "Love Makes a Family" series explores impactful stories, history and legal precedents, and envisions what full recognition for diverse families could look like.
