Your queer child’s identity is something to be proud of and grateful for. In addition, supporting your queer child is also something you should be proud of. Gratitude is finding something to be grateful for in a world that is not or cannot be a grateful place . Mr. Rogers always said that when you are afraid look for the helpers. Maybe become one of the helpers. As parents we see further than our children do. We have to show them that there is so much to be grateful for and that this is only the start.
