I’m out to my parents and siblings (who are supportive), but we’re going to have extended family visiting for the holidays who don’t know that I’m gay. Based on some things they’ve said in the past, I’m nervous to tell them. What should I do?

We put up posters for our GSA (gay straight alliance/gender sexuality alliance) at school, but people keep ripping them down. It feels targeted, like people don’t think we belong at the school. What should we do? 

My child recently came out as transgender (he identifies as a boy now), and while I love and support him, I can't stop thinking about the daughter I've lost. I keep telling myself to focus on the son I have now, and I'm getting better about remembering his new name, but there's still a part of me that feels really sad. It's almost like I've lost someone. How do I get over this?

What do all the letters in LGBTQ stand for? How come sometimes there’s also an “IA” at the end?
