WHAT TO DO WHEN A GAY CHILD MARRI

"The reactns of the children are both heartwarmg and hopeful, suggtg that rights for lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr (LGBT) Amerins uld very well be close to a non-issue for the next generatn. One thg that strik me as all too mon when I addrs olr elementary school and middle school children is their disfort wh homosexualy and their overall lack of awarens of people who are transgenr. Still today I n go to virtually any school any muny the cy and as part of my discsn wh kids between the ag of 10 and 13 years segue to a talk about homosexualy and the moans, groans, and eye-rollg are all too apparent.

And my nversatns about persons who are transgenr are ially met wh a fair amount of ignorance of the topic followed by a disfort that is siar to my talks about homosexualy. Sure there are some exceptns but for the most part my experience discsg homosexualy and transgenrism wh preadolcents the schools I have vised rult the same ial negative rpons. Now to be fair, as my discsns wh the children progrs and they beg to procs and digt what nstut genr variance and the var issu and ncerns that gay, lbian, and people who are transgenr al wh, many of the young people beg to display a better unrstandg and empathy towards their fellow neighbors.

After all, I know of no elementary school that mak any effort to clu as part of s curriculum any teachg about homosexualy much ls transgenrism.
