Did you ever read about families with two moms at school? Were you ever taught what it means to love anyone regardless of their gender? Pride and Less Prejudice is an organisation on a mission to bring LGBTQI+ representation and more inclusive conversations to schools and children in the US. We chat to founder, Lisa Forman (she/her) and Outreach Coordinator, Becca Damante (she/her), and ask “How do we operate in shrinking LGBTQI+ activist spaces where Queer rights are under threat? How do you ride these political and social waves and continue to have an impact?". This one is a real tear-jerker.

Journey to Transformation is proud to support LGBTQI+ representation in schools. You can find out about the Pride and Less Prejudice work here.
