In this episode, we talk about how affirming parents respond! When they are a child\\u2019s advocate and ally, a child\\u2019s defender and protector \\u2013 to family members, sometimes very close family members, and friends, who are NOT affirming. Not accepting.\\xa0 Way too often openly anti-gay and cruel.

We want to share a letter a mom wrote on behalf of her transgender daughter. It is beautiful.

Sometimes we stand behind our LGBTQ+ kids in support. Sometimes alongside them in solidarity. And sometimes we stand in front of them to take the arrows coming their way.\\xa0

It\\u2019s called love and it\\u2019s what a parent should do.\\xa0
