I’m stuck at home now because of COVID-19, and I’m really stressed about not being in school and not being able to visit my friends. I’m gay (and my parents aren’t supportive), and I’m not sure how to stay connected when we’re all supposed to stay apart. How do I get through this?

I’m having a hard time remembering the difference between a transgender guy and a transgender girl. Do you have any tricks for remembering what each term means? Also, who do transgender people date? Are they all gay? I’m not sure how that works.

My brother’s child recently came out as transgender. She now asks that we use she/her pronouns and that I refer to her as my niece. I’m okay with all this, but I’m not sure how to explain it to my kids, who are in elementary school. They’ve known Sally (name changed for privacy) as a boy their whole lives. How do I help my young kids understand this change?

My daughter is fifteen and recently told me that she's bisexual and has a crush on a girl at school. I want to be supportive, but my gut is telling me this is just a phase. A lot of her friends came out this year, and I think she's trying to fit in. I'm not sure how to even talk to her about this. What should I do?

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?
