As parents, it’s our duty to introduce the LGBTQ topic to our children rather than waiting for a specific event, in simple words, every opportunity is the best. But then, why June?
June commemorates the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion and aims to increase awareness not only of the topic but also of its history; the gender identity, and support the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or the LGBTQ community as a whole.
Adding to that, the rainbow – Pride flag and virtual events could intrigue children, and we’re sure couples don’t wish to wait until then to introduce the topic. That will only make it all the harder by bombarding the kid with the history and significance, together.
This is why it’s important to share the stories to your little ones in small doses that make it easier to understand and also question, as and when they are curious. What better way for the parents to introduce and teach the children than LGBTQ quotes in addition to the books and progressive TV shows to help answer all of their questions in a kid-friendly way?
Confused? Don’t worry, as Parenthoodbliss helps you make this even easier and normalize gay parenting with the best LGBTQ quotes to help the kid learn and grow. So, let’s get started!
