Do you know how to react if someone comes out to you? What do you say if someone tells you they are gay or transgender? 

In this episode we hear from Marco De Vries from the Netherlands. He talks about growing up in Amsterdam, the first country to legalise gay marriage. He tells his story of coming out, accepting himself, and meeting and marrying the love of his life, twice. And he gives great advice about how to react if someone comes out to you and how not all gay people are marching in parades and wearing glitter and rainbows. 

An interesting point Marco raised was that most gay people are not raised by gay people and how parents of kids need to get themselves educated by reading and talking to experienced people to learn and support their kids. 

There is so much to learn and Marco's conversation is a great contribution.
