Four Tiny Actions That Will Support Your Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual Kid This Week
What does your gay son, lesbian daughter, or bisexual kid actually need from you this week?
This follows up on Tuesday's episode about the real differences between a son and daughter coming out. Heather offers four small, specific actions, one for each thread from that conversation, so nothing gets lost in the idea that "gay is gay." Small doesn't mean simple. It means paying attention to which questions this particular kid is actually asking.
In this episode you'll learn how to:
Normalize health information for a gay or bisexual son in the same matter-of-fact tone you'd use for a dentist reminderCatch and resist the "it's safer, it's two women" assumption that can quietly lower your guard for a lesbian or bisexual daughterUse one line that counters bisexual erasure for good, no matter who your kid is currently dating
Press play for four small ways to show up specifically, not generically, this week.
