Practice Guidelines for Equity in Gender and Sexual Diversity
Executive Summary
"When we hold our baby in the nursery for the first time, no one tells us that our baby might be gay. By the time we know who are children are, we may have hurt them in many ways. No one teaches us how to help and protect our gay and or transgender children. We may think we can help by trying to change them - but we need to love them for who they are".
