What is Family?
Families For Freedom - A WA Community Initiative for Relationship Equality
In today's society, the word 'family' is used to marginalise, segregate and isolate people according to their particular types of relationship structures. Families For Freedom seeks to create a community based and online dialogue about what family actually means to todays community, towards the end of recognising all loving, supportive relationships equally.
F4F are holding two events in Perth in the coming weeks.

Tell Your Story - Families For Freedom Fim Project
F4F Invites all community members in and out of Australia to contribute video blogs and short films about what family means to them, to extend the online dialogue and to explore an issue that never gets the attention it is due. Lets reclaim 'family' from fundamentalist groups, and give it back the meaning of love and support it used to entail.
