Ever wondered how technology can boost not just your phone’s battery but also your community’s pride and family dreams? In June 2025, the collaboration between Automattic and Out in Tech did just that — building websites for LGBTQ+ nonprofits and amplifying their voices in a way that’s as empowering as it is inspiring.
If you haven’t read the full story, it’s worth checking out Building Pride: Supporting LGBTQ+ Organizations with Out in Tech. But here’s the juicy bit: this partnership isn’t just about tech. It’s about creating real impact, especially for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples eager to start their own families.
Why does this matter for LGBTQ+ family builders?
Because family building isn’t always a walk in the park — or the pride parade. Many folks face unique challenges accessing fertility options that cater to their specific needs. Enter the magic of innovation and community support.
At-home insemination kits have been a game-changer for many, offering privacy, affordability, and convenience. Companies like MakeAMom have stepped up, providing reusable kits tailored to address various fertility hurdles — from low motility sperm to sensitivities like vaginismus.
Imagine this: no more tedious clinic visits, no sky-high bills, and all the control in your hands (literally). Plus, discreet packaging means your journey stays your business. With an average success rate of 67%, these tools are reshaping what family building looks like in 2025.
But here’s the kicker — it’s not just about the kits.
Community matters. Just like how the Out in Tech initiative helps LGBTQ+ nonprofits grow their digital reach and impact, making sure people have access to resources and support around family building is critical.
Why? Because the path to parenthood for LGBTQ+ individuals often involves navigating legal complexities, unique fertility considerations, and, importantly, emotional resilience.
So, how can you get involved or take a step forward?
