Same-Sex Parents Share Their Story, Montpellier Hosts LGBTQIA+ Family Festival

Montpellier Hosts 4th Annual Family Pride Festival: A Mother and Daughter Share Their Story. France is making strides towards inclusivity, as evidenced by the upcoming Family Pride festival in Montpellier (May 17-18, 2025), celebrating LGBTQIA+ families. This year's event is particularly poignant, coinciding with a Konbini video featuring a mother and daughter who bravely share their experiences navigating societal perceptions of same-sex parenting. "Often, there are kids at school who make fun of me because I have two moms," shares the daughter, Charlie. Her mother, Marie-Clémence Bordet-Nicaise, adds, "It's a constant reminder that we don't fit the heteronormative mold." Their story underscores the need for greater understanding and acceptance of diverse family structures, emphasizing that love and care are the cornerstones of successful parenting, regardless of parental configuration. The Family Pride Festival serves as a powerful symbol of progress and a platform for promoting inclusivity and celebrating the diversity of modern families.
