[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]While I agree it was an odd post.. our experience with DD's friend who is LGBTQ is that it's a non issue in Bethesda/Potomac but when our kids go to an activity in Takoma the families there make a big deal out of it and make it something that is more celebrated. The families of straight friends will ask said friend about pride events and go out of their way to tell them how supportive they are. There is a difference.[/quote]

You mean that your kid and their friend show up for a soccer match in Takoma or whatever, and people fall over themselves? I mean, that's a claim, but it's not at all in keeping with my experience parenting a LGBTQ+ kid in Takoma Park.

So, folks can take your word as a friend of a friend who sometimes comes to Takoma Park for activities, or mine as a resident of Takoma Park personally parenting a queer kid. People are accepting, but also pretty blase given that half of the AFB teens in Takoma Park identify as some flavor of LGBTQ+.  [/quote]

Thanks for the insight!  What is AFB?[/quote]
