OutCasting; Dating support systems for LGBTQ youth
Description:
January 1, 2021 – Dating while you're young can be fun, exhilarating, and awkward all at the same time. But straight teenagers can talk with their friends and hopefully their families about what they're experiencing. They get affirmation from those around them and their confidence in themselves grows. [p] But when you're LGBTQ, your friends may be uncomfortable talking about same-sex relationships, and with parents, it can be dangerous for some kids to come out at all, let alone talk about their relationships. So where can they turn? [p] On this edition, Vivian speaks for the OutCasting team about where LGBTQ teens can turn for support and gives advice to straight friends, parents, and school personnel about how they can be good allies.
