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.”
