LGBTQ Relationships and Dating Violence

To the parents of LGBTQ+ kids,

Your child wants you to love them. That can be as simple as telling them that you love them, using the pronouns and name that they have chosen, defending them against unkind comments or rude family members, letting them express themselves, and having their back at school.

You can’t control every aspect of your child’s life, but you do have power over what your home atmosphere is like, so make it one that your child wants to be in. You know that the world can be a cruel place, and it is even crueler towards the LGBTQ+ community. Make your home a place where your child doesn’t have to feel bogged down by life’s chaos, but can instead feel at peace, loved, and welcome.

You are your child’s first teacher, and you have an important opportunity to teach your child acceptance and compassion. Raise your kids in a home of love, and the world will be better for it.

Sincerely,

an LGBTQ+ kid.

Students’ RightsThe Supreme Court ruled in 1969 that students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." This is true for other fundamental rights, as well.
