What started originally as a letter I wrote my family to address a conversation that wasn’t taking place, has since become:

• an article published on nine different media platforms,

• a TEDx talk, 

• a parenting guide, 

• a presentation,

• a #1 New Release published by Rowman & Littlefield,

• a Spanish translation called, Por una infancia aliada LGTBQI+,

• a forthcoming Vietnamese translation, 

• a 2024 APA Distinguished Book Award,

• and now, a training for families and youth-serving professionals.

Raising LGBTQ Allies is the first parenting book to focus on the prevention of homophobia, transphobia, and bullying before they begin. It encourages families to have open and authentic conversations in a practical, timely, and inclusive way. It also creates a dialogue with parents around the possibility they may have an LGBTQ child.
