Charity launches guide to help parents be better allies to LGBT+ children
A rainbow flag, a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBT) pride and LGBT social movements, flies at St John the Baptist church in Felixstowe, Suffolk, December 17, 2023
A CHARITY has launched a new guide to help parents of LGBT+ children become better allies in response to a “resurgence of homophobia in schools.”
LGBT+ young people’s charity Just Like Us released the guide, which offers advice on how families can support their children if they come out.
The resource was created in response to a rise in anti-LGBT+ language among primary school-aged children and what the charity describes as an “increasingly damaging public discourse around LGBT+ lives.”
