This episode is all about the simple actions parents can take to show their affirmation. We encourage you to have age-appropriate conversations with your kids about sex, introduce your child and expand your circle to include queer folks who are thriving at all stages of life, and hold space for complexity and nuance in your kids. But the number one action you can do to lead the way on being an example and affirming ally? Don’t take your kids to a homophobic church! Tune in as we talk about implicit bias and its insidious messaging kids absorb and what you can do to combat this.
