I had one of those startling and shocking “overwhelmed parent” moments last week. The kind where you feel a sudden and all-encompassing crushing sense of helplessness. I literally put my head in my hands and sighed.
The reason? My teenage daughter told me that a kid at school had spotted her Pride bracelet from the parade we’d been to, the weekend before – pointed and shouted “Eww”. He then proceeded to quiz my little girl, incredulously, by the sounds of it, on why she supported LGBT+ rights.
