Pride month is of course about celebration and visibility and campaigning but it is also a timely (and important) moment to talk about how we can use our skills and talents to drive equality for #LGBT+ people forward and the law is one of the most critical areas where we can help realise that equality. So that’s what we did in Amsterdam Clifford Chance Amsterdam presenting a preview of the upcoming report on legal trends in Europe for Rainbow families. There is so much movement, both towards and away from equality, across European jurisdictions. These outcomes and trends have real impacts on the freedoms and status of LGBT+ headed families. We got to hear the insights of Ferdinando Poscio Ilse van Gasteren (She/Her) and Anna Thwaites on what is happening in the law and where we should be focusing our efforts to support #equality. Proud to work with people really using their expertise to help drive chance and support LGBT+ people. The law does not create LGBT+ families - we will continue to exist and appear regardless of how good or bad the laws are. The question we have to ask is whether these families and the children in many of these families should be entitled to the same legal status, standing and protections as all other families. The answer seems like a no brainier to me - Yes btw! Clifford Chance #inclusion #diversity
