About Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere

COLAGE (Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere) operates as the national organization dedicated to supporting and empowering people with one or more LGBTQ+ caregivers. Based in Providence, RI, COLAGE provides comprehensive peer support networks and community resources designed to help individuals with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual parents develop into skilled, self-confident leaders within their communities. The organization unites people across the nation who share the experience of having LGBTQ+ parents or caregivers, creating safe spaces where members can connect, share experiences, and build meaningful relationships with peers who understand their unique family structures. Through their programming, COLAGE supports the nurturing and empowerment of young people in LGBTQ+ families, offering events, mentorship opportunities, and community initiatives. With a commitment to amplifying the voices of those with queer parents, COLAGE has launched their Queerspawn Agenda to ensure that people with LGBTQ+ caregivers are no longer subjects of national conversations but active participants speaking for themselves. The organization continues to expand its reach through relaunched Chapter programs, bringing local support to communities across the country. Founded in 1990, COLAGE has spent over three decades building the foundation for community connection and activism led by and for children of queer parents.
