Natalie speaks at Progress Educational Trust event: The fertility landscape for LGBTQ+ communities

February 27, 2025

 

Natalie was delighted to join a panel of expert speakers for an event attended by more than 100 people last week to discuss barriers to family building for the LGBTQ+ community. Natalie spoke about the evolution of the law and where it is still lagging behind, focusing on surrogacy, transgender parents and multi-parent families. Other speakers included clinicians Carole Gilling-Smith and Nick Macklon, Fertility Justice Now campaigners Nancy Kelley and Laura-Rose Thorogood, sociologist Marcin Smietana and TransParentChange founder Jacob Stokoe.

As prominent champions of LGBTQ+ families, we are always passionate about contributing to public debate and doing all we can to move the law forward.
