Parents: What to do when your child comes out

I've heard from a lot of parents-especially Christian parents-who aren't sure how to respond when their child comes out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or anything else on the LGBTQ+ spectrum.
Here are some practical tips for how best to respond.
As promised in the video, I've listed some parents' resources you can check out here:

I wish my parents watched this video

[@lethabomlangeni6322]

Also me

[@djroxalot]

Im literally preparing a group of these videos to send to my parents

[@mateusribeiro829]

Can I put portuguese subtitles in this video, Rob and Linda Robertson and the one of Vicky? I'm about to come out to my parents and I would really like them to be able to watch these videos, they dont speak english. These videos would help so many portuguese speakers.

[@stellava7292]

[@davidmachemer1015]

[@stabbamonroll]

I love this!!!

[@michaelh2901]

Wow, Justin. This video is beautiful. 🙂

[@omasingh1949]

am i the only gay person crying

[@petelincoln9058]

Im not gay but that does not matter, I feel the same, im so sorry for you and everyone that has to feel these emotions about something like THIS, its not fair why can't people realise we are all the same we come into this world and leave the same, we are eternal beings having a human experience, and regardless of what body we are born into or who we are attracted to an love, that should NEVER MATTER, we are all ONE not separate, I want to tell you, you are heard, you are understood, you are held, you are loved and you are not alone, sending you and all others affected by this A BIG LOVING HUG :)

Thank you

[@beccalangner3257]

I wish there move videos to navigate this.

[@immortalhour3888]

My daughter told my wife she’s gay she’s only 11 years old how is this even possible at her age and did I fail as a father

[@codikenley9492]

It was easier to tell my dad and stepmother but my mom is going to be a challenge

[@Iwatchchildstuff]

Dude, if only my parents did this.
