Tips For Supporting Your LGBTQ+ Child Or Loved One
Lead With Love
Unconditional love builds the safest space for your child to be themselves and gives them strength and confidence to face the world and thrive in their lives.
Listen With Intention
To build trust, hear them out fully, without judgment, rushing to respond or fix things too fast as your child may feel nervous while sharing about their gender or sexuality.
Show Subtle Support
Small gestures like using correct pronouns, wearing a pride badge, standing up against jokes that hurt them or attending events are some silent yet powerful ways of showing support.
Learn The Terms
Educating yourself about terms like lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and others shows respect, interest in their identity and effort to connect.
You're Feelings Are Valid
It's okay to feel confused, scared, guilty or emotional when children come out of the closet but remember, your emotions are real and valid—your journey matters too.
This Is A Journey & You're Important
Your support by being involved, asking questions, learning together, and standing by them through their challenges can make all the difference in how they experience acceptance.
