#ProtectQueerKids: Why Family Acceptance for LGBTIQ+ Youth Matters

Family is vital for all of us, it is what we care about first and foremost. Especially for LGBTIQ+ youth, family acceptance and support mean a lot when it comes to psychological and mental well-being. Unfortunately, for LGBTIQ+ youth, their family is too often a source of hostility or violence, pressure to conform to patriarchal norms, and even exclusion and discrimination. "I accept LGBTIQ+ people as long as they are not my children" Asian parenting style always comes with e
