I love everything about this article from The Washington Post. There has been such an enormous shift in how we look at gender and sexuality from the time I was a teen and it can be overwhelming, even if your goal is to be the best damn ally you can be. I think it's really pretty simple though. Love your kids (and your adults) for who they are, stop vilifying their choices, and stand with them as they grow and explore who they are. And educate yourself!"

You don’t have to get everything right or be perfect; just be open."

Read the article and let me know what you think:

As always, thanks for being here and being part of the community,

love,
