    Mattie is so awesome for doing this podcast. I feel bad when kids can’t be who they are in front of their parents. Especially because a parent is supposed to love and support their kids unconditionally. Which fortunately for me mine do and i am so lucky to have them.

      My parents beat me when my school told them that I was bisexual since it was a really strict catholic school and I was so emotional that I accidentally told them that I was non-binary. A day after that I attempted suicide so child protection services took me and I ended up with a very nice gay couple.

    I listened to this episode last night and it was life changing. Thank you so much for this content. I know my parents would support me because my sister is gay. But they don’t know that I am a lesbian my friends do not my parents. This helped me so much with coming out!!! Thank you. 😊

    Came out to my parents as BI curious lmao my mom told me she would love me no Matter what
    And my dad said i don’t really care so long as your happy so yay it’s a shame your parents weren’t so happy with you coming out I get it it must of sucked I can’t relate because I had support so but I can understand how it must of felt.
    Having this podcast will do so mutch good and raise awareness of these issues that lgbtq kids face so this is great that you’re highlighting this.
