When Children Encounter ‘LGBT Pride’: Resources for Parents
LGBT pride month is here, and families are bombarded with LGBT flags, clothing and messages. It’s no longer a question of if your children will be exposed to radical ideas about sexuality, but when will they be exposed to these confusing ideas.
How should Christian parents respond?
Focus on the Family and the Daily Citizen have resources to help parents give their children a solid, biblical view of sexuality and navigate these difficult issues with grace, truth and courage.
This free resource helps parents address the topic of homosexuality with children of different ages. The booklet details a variety of real-life scenarios where your children may encounter homosexuality and offers possible responses.
This booklet describes three scenarios where you and your family might encounter transgender issues – at school, in private spaces and in your family – and gives guidance for addressing the issue with wisdom and grace. The free PDF also helps you understand transgender terminology and ideology and their effects on the culture.
