Talking to Your Child About Dating, Sex & Relationships
An LGBTQ+ Inclusive Parent’s Guide to Consent, Safety & Healthy Relationships
Talking about dating and sex with your child can feel awkward. When your child is LGBTQ+, it can be even harder to find guidance that doesn't assume every child is straight or cisgender.
This practical, affirming guide from the Mosaic Pieces Digital Resource Library helps parents move beyond one uncomfortable “sex talk” and build ongoing conversations grounded in trust, accurate information, consent, safety, and healthy relationships.
Inside this 26-page printable guide, parents will explore:
How to talk about crushes and first relationships without shame
Applying the same dating standards to LGBTQ+ and straight children
What healthy—and unhealthy—relationships look like
Consent and recognizing coercion or pressure
LGBTQ+-inclusive sex education
Safer sex without making assumptions about bodies or partners
Privacy vs. parental responsibility for safety
Sexting and digital relationships
Dating while not fully out
Supporting trans and nonbinary young people in relationships
Body autonomy
Pornography and sexual-media literacy
Breakups, heartbreak, and unhealthy behavior after a breakup
Welcoming your child's partner into your home
Talking about family values without using shame
Abstinence-based family values and LGBTQ+ children
Church teaching and sexual shame
An optional Scripture lens for families who want it
Questions parents can ask without interrogating
Conversation starters for children, tweens, and teens
A printable Our Family Relationship Values worksheet
A Parent Promise
This guide doesn't ask parents to abandon their values or their role as parents. It helps families communicate those values while giving young people the information and relationship skills they need to make safer, healthier choices.
At its heart is a simple principle:
LGBTQ+ young people deserve the same opportunity to learn about consent, love, boundaries, safety, heartbreak, and healthy relationships as every other child.
