As Mardi Gras and Pride events are underway we spoke to some queer parents about how best to support the LGBTQI+ community and get involved in the festivities. 

We speak to Sean Szeps, Hayley Willis and one of Johnnie Walker’s Proud Walkers for Sydney WorldPride, Sabrina Frederick. They share their experiences becoming parents, insights on how we can create safe and inclusive environments for our children and how they’re celebrating as a family. 

Nails and Fails - Leigh serves Alexander ‘play dough’ and enjoys a cacio e pepe moment, While Tegan’s girls have some concerns at the canteen.
