Out Proud Families is for you—families, caregivers, youth, educators, and providers who play important roles in the lives of our children and youth.
Started by the proud mom of a gender-expansive gay son, we provide resources for families and caregivers raising children and youth of diverse gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations. We help schools, providers and organizations create safe spaces for all children and youth and support for families and caregivers.
Check out our workshops and presentations.
Look for my children’s book One of a Kind Like Me coming this September!
If all families and caregivers supported our children of all gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations, the world would be a much more welcoming and accepting place for everyone. 
Laurin Mayeno, the proud mixed-race mother of a multiracial gay son, launched Out Proud Families to pursue her passion—using her voice as a mother to build acceptance and support within families and communities.
