Da se zna : I (Dis)own my child

One of the toughest moments for LGBT+ population is declaring sexual orientation and gender identity to family, especially in the Balkans and small environments where cultural barriers are highly present when it comes to family acceptance… Unfortunately, it still means facing rejection. In order to formalize the rejection, parents publish I disown my child classified ads in papers, which is a deeply rooted custom, still happening even today. Brand used this awful practice as a tool and changed the perspective. The association for LGBT+ rights Da se zna (Let it be known) initiated the campaign and published a series of real I disown my child Print advertisement in national and local newspapers, allowing various families to publicly support their kids for being proud of who they are and who they love.
