Talking With Your Children & Family About LGBTQ+ Acceptance
What do you say when your child tells you that one of their friends is LGBTQ+?
That conversation may seem small, but your response teaches your child something important about acceptance, privacy, friendship, and how LGBTQ+ people will be treated in your home.
This 27-page printable guide from the Mosaic Pieces Digital Resource Library gives parents practical help for navigating these conversations without turning a child’s identity into gossip, a debate, or a family crisis.
Parents will find guidance for talking about coming out and outing, respecting privacy, names and pronouns, what to do when the friend’s parents don’t know, responding to questions without interrogating the friend, sleepovers, bullying, slurs and jokes, extended family, other parents, and helping children become supportive friends.
It also includes age-appropriate conversation starters, ready-to-use parent scripts, a How to Be a Safe Friend page for children, a Family Acceptance Plan, and a Parent Promise.
This is intentionally not a theology guide. It is about the conversations families have at the kitchen table, in the car, with siblings, with grandparents, and when an LGBTQ+ friend walks through the front door.
At its heart is a simple lesson:
Your friends do not have to hide who they are to be welcome in our home.
