Just wanted to say that this website has seen me through so much. I found this website when my daughter was 7 months old. Yes, there's snark, but man alive, when the posters have your back - even if you can't see it at the time - it's gold. Now, as I maneuver through this with my daughter and holy hell not wanting to screw it up, I just wanted to say thanks.


Thank you. It is always nice to hear positive feedback. I hope the website will continue to be helpful.

LGBTQIA+ Issues, Children and Relationships
Previously, the LGBTQ Relationships and Discussion forum. Discussion by and about people in the LGBTQIA+ communities, including issues faced by those in the community and caring for those in the community.

And then, or course, two locked threads - the notice about no trolling/hate, and a second one with a good set of resource links for various topics.


This makes sense. Or LGBTQIA+ Special Concerns and Parenting


I like both of these!

This makes sense to me. Let's hear what others have to say.


I like this idea!


Mom of daughter who is in this group; I like this too.


Same here.


I also like this. As the (straight) parent of a gay child, it never occurred to me to look in the LGBTQ relationships forum. I would absolutely look in a forum branded this way.

[/b]No. They are not relationship questions and don't belong in the LGBTQ relationship forum any more than questions about straight kids belong in the relationship forum.

Thank you, I did not know about that.

Most of my questions are not about DD dating. It’s things like clothing, the low-key homophobic English teacher…
