465 – How to be an accepting parent to your LGBTQIA child – Zach Selch

Parenthood. One of the most rewarding and challenging roles on planet earth. Then add to the mix that your child reveals they are non-binary, or a lesbian, or both, but both meaning that two of your 3 children are now expressing they are not gendered or identifying in the sexuality that you would have thought. What do you do? You grow, you learn, you then take the family out for ice cream. Zach Selch helps to kick off the pre-PRIDE shows with this candid conversation where he shares his journey as a Father of a non-binary individual and a lesbian daughter. It didn’t stop how he loves and it shouldn’t stop how anyone loves their child. Happy pre-pride and don’t forget – we are who we are…yes it is that simple.
