Pride month is coming

Published 2 days ago • 1 min read

June is just around the corner, which means PRIDE is almost here!

LGBTQ+ Pride Month is celebrated in June to commemorate the Stonewall Uprising of June 1969 in New York City, which is considered the catalyst for the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.

The first Gay Pride Liberation March was held in Manhattan on June 28, 1970, one year after the Stonewall Riots. Since then, the LGBTQ+ community has continued to gather together in June with parades, marches, activism, and celebrations. Pride Month was first recognized at the federal level in 1999 by President Bill Clinton.

Whatever way you celebrate, it's a time to honor the history and legacy of resistance from generations of queer ancestors, push back against hate, and envision a world where we value authentic living, self-love, and community acceptance.

Gender identity. Pronouns. Gender expression. Transitioning. All the things. Understanding this stuff is hard. I get it. But parents, you don’t have to understand everything to be supportive. And you will probably never fully understand your transgender child’s journey, because it’s their journey, not yours. Just keep on loving, supporting, and affirming them the best that you can.💜 If you need a little help, our online course Parents of Trans Youth 101 is always available for you. It's short...

In this week’s support group inside the Parents of Trans Youth Community, we discussed how to tell extended family that your kiddo is transgender, nonbinary, or somewhere else on the gender spectrum. There’s a lot to consider: Is your kid ready? Maybe they want the world to know! Or maybe they don’t want to tell anyone, and that’s ok. AND sometimes they need to be walked through the bigger picture, which might help with their decision about coming out to family. Does your kid want to be the...

The Trevor Project's 2025 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People was released last week, and I always find helpful yet heartbreaking data in these annual findings. (Content warning: the survey addresses suicide risk and anti-LGBTQ+ victimization.) I'm always interested to see how support makes a positive difference in the mental health of queer youth. This year's study found: 📝 LGBTQ+ young people who reported living in very accepting communities attempted suicide at...
