Invisible Parents

"Invisible Parents"http://www.allout.org/invisibleparentsImagine if your family wasn’t legally recognised in the majority of Europe. That’s the shocking scenario examined in a new online short film, which is the first of its kind to use Facebook and Twitter to raise awareness of the alarming inequalities facing gay parents throughout Europe.Launched today for the UK’s National Adoption Week, it is a joint project from online organisation All Out and producer Mike Buonaiuto, the award-winning director of the Homecoming equal marriage video commissioned by the Coalition for Equal Marriage. The film is also supported by Michael Cashman MEP.The Invisible Parents film shows a daughter’s happy memories with her two dads before asking the question: Why isn’t their family legally recognised in the majority of Europe?Same-sex families often stop being considered a family as soon as they set foot in a different country in the European Union - because the EU lacks a general legal framework to recognise these couples and their children across borders.

Really like the simplicity of this film and the message. Loops we'd really like to understand the implications of traveling abroad too.We are in the process of being approved so not yet been able to ask this!

Michael Cashman has a film supporting this but I watched it then couldn't find it again! So may be worth trawling the Internet for this too. I'm sure it was a link posted on twitter come to think of it. Ill have another look, if I don't post the link I haven't found it!

Quote from the blurb:Same-sex families often stop being considered a family as soon as they set foot in a different country in the European Union - because the EU lacks a general legal framework to recognise these couples and their children across borders.Terrible thought for some of you. I'm sure NFS would be a good bet for further information.With support,Trish x
