RAINBOW FAMILIES
ABOUT RAINBOW FAMILIES
Over a thousand children are currently being raised in same-sex families in the Czech Republic. The legal status of such families however is precarious. That is why LGBT parents and those planning for a family appreciate contacts with other same-sex parents and any opportunity to get information.
The Prague Pride association has organized since 2014 several rounds of so-called „parenthood prep”. Couples or individuals use them to meet with experts in different fields (child psychology, law, assisted reproduction etc.) and above all with other LGBT parents, who are willing to share their experiences. Almost 100 people have attended the preparations sessions, and the first „graduates” are already raising their own children. In 2018, a spring round of the parenthood prep ran in April - May and an autumn round in October - November.
Prague Pride also supports already existing rainbow families. We have started a tradition of LGBT families’ get-togethers and we plan to continue having them in 2018.
