In case anyone is still not aware of this
Denying or suppressing a child’s right to choose their own gender expression/self expression (through clothing choices, body language, play, verbally, etc.) is AN ACT OF VIOLENCE.
Denigrating those who don’t adhere to traditional gender expectations is AN ACT OF VIOLENCE (and one your children are definitely paying attention to).
Telling a child or teen that their only option is to be straight is, you guessed it, AN ACT OF VIOLENCE.
Shaming, putting down, or otherwise speaking against LGBTQ+ people is VIOLENCE.
The people around you are listening. Your children are listening. And unless you strive to be an ally, you ARE contributing to depression and suicide among LGBTQ+ people, especially youth, and to the abuse, violence, and marginalization they experience from society at large.
You have the power, with your words and actions, to help stop the violence.Sincerely,
