10. Wait, so instead...

Wait, so instead of replying to that thread from 2012 (not a page - took me awhile to find it) with a comment simply suggesting that COLAGE be added as the original poster requested ...you started a whole new thread complaining it wasn't there??

Setting all that aside, while you may see yourself as more than an ally, many many children of LGBTQ people are absolutely not supportive of their parents, especially if the parents come out or transition later in life. For them, learning some ally skills would be a big start...but I bet they're not crawling through twelve year old threads on an obscure internet board.

Really, I'm glad COLAGE still exists. I haven't heard much of anything from them for awhile now. But if I was still doing trainings, or putting together a resource list, I would only add that site with a warning about the seeming exclusive use of the identity label "queerspawn." I guess that's useful for family members who are already also allies...but to folks newly figuring out their relationship with an LGBTQ parent, it seems...unhelpful.
