Will my children be LGBT+?
Maybe. The most current research indicates that sexual orientation is determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Many children do question their own sexual orientation or gender identity after the disclosure of a parent. For this reason, how the Straight Partner or Partner of a Trans Person talks about the LGBT+ Partner will have lasting impacts on any children that may be LGBT+ themselves. Be supportive of your child no matter what their sexual identity turns out to be. For a child who is questioning, therapy may be a good option to help them explore their feelings. Teaching our children to be true to who they are is one of the most important gifts that we can give them.
