Two speakers offer advice to parents of LGBTQ teens, emphasizing that acceptance is a journey, a child's love isn't conditional on past mistakes, and young people should live authentically while giving parents time to process.

It's a journey that doesn't end, right? There's no ending to this journey. I think the biggest piece of it is embracing that it is a journey and you're on it together.
I think it's important to know your child still loves you. This has nothing to do with something you did wrong. This has nothing to do with not being loved. And I know that's a hard thing for many parents to wrap their head around.
The parent needs that time and space to process. Anybody who you're sharing that information with needs the time and space to process it.
The truth of who you are is far more powerful than the false truth that you're pretending to be. So go show the world who you are.
