N2  - "Raising LGBTQ Allies is the first book to focus on the prevention of homophobia, transphobia, and bullying before they begin. It encourages families to have open and authentic conversations in a practical, timely, and inclusive way. It also creates a dialogue with parents around the possibility they may have an LGBTQ child"--; Tompkins focuses on the prevention of homophobia, transphobia, and bullying before they begin. Creating a dialogue with parents around the possibility they may have an LGBTQ child, he encourages families to have open and authentic conversations in a practical, timely, and inclusive way. Offering specific actions that can be taken to address heteronormativity and challenge societal beliefs, Tompkins shows that change begins with us and what we say, as much as what we choose not to say. -- adapted from jacket
