Sayg that LGBTQ+ topics are “nfg” to kids really means you’re worried that beg around LGBTQ+ folks uld “turn” your kids gay. It would also mean that nservative cis straight parents who go to great lengths to shield their kids om outsi fluence would never have gay kids. In fact, I’d bet money they are way ls nfed than the kid of a homophobic straight cis parent who ref to expose their kid to different typ of people.

They might be nfed about those people who look different than their parents and their parents’ homogeno circle of iends. Growg up, my father often ed homophobic slurs. My grandparents and church tght me that beg gay was a s.

HOW TO TALK TO YOUR CHILD WHO IS QUTNG OR INTIFI AS LBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENR, QUEER OR ASEXUAL (LGBTQA)

We didn’t have gay iends. Kids at school were openly homophobic. Any kids who prented like they might be gay were teased.

Beg gay was never an optn my world, not somethg I even remotely nsired other than havg tense fatuatns wh girls I would admire om a distance and hope they wouldn’t tch me starg for too long. If I had been ee to explore that piece of myself, or ee to wonr about , might I have realized much sooner that I am gay?

Sharon McCutcheon/UnsplashI wonr this, bee as I me to terms wh beg gay several years ago, as I went through my old journals and drawgs, was clear to me that I was fatuated wh women a more-than-iendly kd of way. Still, though, if I had known beg gay was an optn, I’m almost certa I would have explored that possibily. Exposg kids to “gay stuff“ don’t make them nfed.

IS YOUR MAN GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BISEXUAL?

Shieldg kids om queer topics and queer people sends them a dangero msage: that if they are gay, you will not accept them. If you’re showg your child you’re homophobic, you are puttg them at risk for anxiety, low self-teem, self harm, prsn, and suici. Homophobia should never be implied.
