My guests today are Ed Center and Jaimie Kelton, and they’re answering questions from YOU! This is a juicy one - we get into how to react when your LGBTQIA+ teen comes out, whose news that is to share with others, and what to do when people who don’t treat our adolescent(s) the way we’d like (cue Mama Bear). The latter half of the episode gets into online safety & pornography, the importance of knowing queer role models in real life, using TV & books as teaching tools, and talking about sex with our queer kids.

Takeaways from the show

  • What’s the preferred and most up-to-date language and acronym? Do we say queer?
  • What can straight parents do to best support their questioning or queer teen?
  • Coming out stories and reactions - whose news is this to share?
  • Coming out is an ongoing process. It is hard & scary!
  • We all hold internalized homophobia
  • How do we handle family or friends who don’t support our queer teen?
  • “Choose love, choose love, choose love.”
  • Online safety
  • The importance of knowing real-life queer role models
  • Sex-ed & sex talks with our queer kids
  • Consent versus enthusiastic consent
