World Childless Week, Day Two: Childless LGBTQIA+

Day Two of World Childless Week 2025 is about "Childless LGBTQIA+."  From the website description: 

What do you encounter that is hidden from society that needs to be brought to the forefront and exposed? Have you been denied or found it harder to get fertility treatment because of your relationship status, sexuality or gender identity? Have people made assumptions about your desire to have been a parent because of how you identify? 

Has YOUR IDENTITY caused you ADDITIONAL  STRUGGLES with prejudice, discrimination and judgement when facing childlessness?

This is obviously a topic that lies outside of my lived experience. I have touched on LGBT+ issues in some of my past posts, but I hesitate to link to them here today (today really isn't about me, you know?).  

But do check out today's content on the WCW site, including community members' contributions, and free, live webinars related to this subject. They will be recorded and the links will be posted later on the Day Two page and WCW YouTube channel for anyone who cannot make the live event.
