In this episode, we embark on a thoughtful exploration into the crucial topic of raising LGBTQIA+ allies with Chris Tompkins. Join us as we navigate the nuances of discussing LGBTQ issues with children, gaining insights into the right age to broach these conversations and foster understanding. Chris delves into the subconscious heteronormative norms ingrained in us from a young age and provides guidance on releasing them, paving the way for a more inclusive perspective. Our conversation extends to addressing the challenges posed by homophobic teachers, offering practical strategies to navigate these situations and ensure a supportive environment for all. We also delve into the proactive measures needed to prevent the adoption of homophobic and transphobicbeliefs by new generations. Chris shares specific actions that parents, family members, and caregivers can take to initiate and navigate conversations that foster allyship and inclusivity.

ABOUT CHRIS TOMPKINS

Chris Tompkins is a therapist and educator based in Los Angeles, California. Chris specializes in helping gay men unburden past pain to wake up feeling a greater sense of purpose, self-acceptance, and belonging.
In addition to being a therapist, Chris is a TEDx speaker and author of the best-selling book, Raising LGBTQ Allies: A Parent’s Guide to Changing the Messages from the Playground. While his book aims to help families prevent homophobia, transphobia, and bullying before they begin, Raising LGBTQ Allies is a peace offering for members of the LGBTQ community to heal from the effects of trauma and toxic shame.
The foundation of Chris’ work is built on the belief that connecting with our spirituality, loving ourselves, and taking full responsibility for our lives and choices is where our strength lies at the deepest level.
