Family Pride to
open new office in Boston

Family Pride, a national nonprofit organization committed to securing family equality for LGBT parents and guardians, announced that it will be expanding its base of operations and opening an office in Boston on July 2, the organization said in a statement.

"As the only organization that is dedicated to advocating for family equality on a national level, we decided to make a strong statement by expanding our base of operations to include a Boston office," said executive director Jennifer Chrisler. "It's in our best interest to provide the friendliest possible environment for all of our staff and their loved ones. Massachusetts is one of the states currently setting the standard we would like to see all states across the nation meet in terms of rights and protections for LGBT-headed families." The organization will continue its work on a national level and will continue to hold an office in Washington, D.C. (The Advocate)
