Out for Our Children is a group of lesbian parents living in London that came into being after their children began to experience prejudice because of their family circumstances.
"Our son used to go to a parent-run nursery where they knew us really well," one member explains. "One day they made Diwali cards and they wrote on them 'To Mummy and Daddy'. I was really upset because they knew my child had two mums.
