A Parent's Guide to LGBTQ+ & Your Teen

"Modern teens are growing up in a culture that has changed significantly since the ‘90s. If they aren’t questioning their own sexuality, they have friends who are. They’re living in a society where Will Smith’s son, Jaden, is modeling Louis Vuitton’s womenswear and where there are so many letters in the current LGBTQ+ initialism (LGBTTQQIAAP) that it’s simpler to use a plus sign than to list all of them. It’s no longer as big of a deal to explore what it means to be gay or bisexual. Young people now tend to be more focused on the newer terms represented by the acronym: queer, questioning, intersex, ally, asexual, and pansexual."
