Different families, same love - The Exhibition
Inspired by the successfull poster campaign with the same name, ILGA-Europe presented a traveling exhibition that toured around in Europe in 2010-2011.
The central point of the ILGA-Europe Different families, same love exhibition was equal family rights no matter sexual orientation and gender identity.
The portraits showed 12 different families, that have one thing in common – love!
However, in many European countries, these families are either unrecognised or even legally discriminated against. The aim of the exhibition was to expose the type of discrimination that these families face, and by doing this challenge the social acceptance of the situation.
The exhibition contributed to the debate about the discrimination experienced by various families including those of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
The ILGA-Europe exhibition Different families, same love was originally launched as a poster and billboard campaign across Europe in 2008 and 2009. In 2010 and 2011, the exhibition travelled to European countries to raise awareness and about family rights.
