Since 2012, Chicago Children’s Museum has recognized International Family Equality Day (IFED), a day held annually on the first Sunday in May to celebrate and recognize the diversity of LGBTQ families around the world.
Usually, we’d pack our Great Hall with activities and resources, tie pride rainbow ribbons along our staircase, and host performances to celebrate and honor the diversity of the families that come to Chicago Children’s Museum.
This year, we can’t make that happen. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t celebrate.
We'll be celebrating IFED, Sunday, May 3, all day on Instagram and Facebook, with special help from our friends the Kiki Queens.
Follow along all day as the Kiki Queens host their popular Story Time With Drag Queens series digitally. We will feature Kiki Queens performers singing songs and reading stories—all via video.
Thanks to the following partners who have supported CCM's celebration of IFED for years:
And thanks to our two new partners, who were planning on joining our IFED celebrations for the first time this year:
