Be an advocate for your child from "summary" of This Is a Book for Parents of Gay Kids by Dannielle Owens-Reid,Kristin Russo
As your child navigates the complexities of their identity, it is crucial for you to stand up for them and support them in every possible way. Being an advocate for your child means being their strongest ally, their fiercest protector, and their most vocal supporter. It means standing by them in the face of discrimination, ignorance, and prejudice, and fighting for their right to be who they are. Advocating for your child also means educating yourself about LGBTQ+ issues and being willing to have difficult conversations with others who may not understand or accept your child's identity. It means challenging harmful stereotypes, speaking out against discrimination, and creating a safe and accepting environment for your child to thrive in. Being an advocate for your child requires courage, compassion, and unwavering love. It means being willing to take risks, make sacrifices, and stand up for what is right, even when it is difficult or uncomfortable. It means being a fierce advocate for your child's well-being, happiness, and safety, no matter what challenges may come your way. By being an advocate for your child, you are not only showing them that you love and support them unconditionally, but you are also helping to create a more inclusive and accepting world for all LGBTQ+ individuals. Your advocacy can make a real difference in your child's life, in your family, and in your community. Stand up, speak out, and be the fierce advocate that your child needs and deserves.
