We’re kicking off a new podcast series all about parents and parenting! While we may not be parents ourselves, we get lots of parenting questions about resources; how to be a better ally for queer kids, how to be a Christian and/or member of a church and still affirm your child, and just how to be a better parent all around when it comes to queerness, conversations, and kids. For our first episode in this series, we each share stories of our relationships with our parents. We pull out examples from these experiences where parents can find ways to show their support. Brian explains how important it is to recognize ingrained cis and straight expectations for kids. And Shay encourages parents to help their children explore faith and spiritual practices that work for them. 

If you want to support the Patreon and help keep the podcast up and running, you can learn more and pledge your support at patreon.com/queertheology.
