📚 What’s Your Story? 📚

Okay, so... today, after picking my kiddo up after school she came out to me as bisexual. I think I handled it well, I hope I handled it well! I made sure she knows I love and support her no matter what - gay, straight, bi, poly, etc.

But, then I got to thinking...

What’s something you wish your parent would’ve done or said to you when you came out?

This can also be a place of support for parents as we try and do the best we can to support our LGBTQ (I know I need to learn all the acronyms).

Attend a ** *️*️ Pride parade with them. Also I’m not sure for a child that is still a minor it would be a good idea. But coming out as a swinger oneself isn’t a bad Idea either. It opens a line of communication about sexuality that’s more personal and not text book. At the pride festival here in Atlanta , swingers , poly and parents of LGBT-Q are all in attendance and in the parade. Oddly tho , swingers are a minority in that crowd and sometimes treated as such. The Bi tribe welcomes us with open arms the most outta the LGBT-Q acronym.



Congratulations on that trust your child has in you. That’s great Parenting.

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I think PRIDE is in June here, I’ll definitely have to look further into it. I just want to do everything I possibly can for her so that she knows she’s loved and cared for no matter what. I don’t see her any differently.

She hasn't changed one bit.

You sound like you're doing the absolute best that you can to be Mom and that your best is terrific. Good on ya!!!!!

I love gay people. Some of the happiest people I know are gay people.

I think this is a great post.

How to be a great parent and ally for your LGBTQ+ child.

Perhaps a better name for the post.
