Top 10 Ways to Support LGBTQ Youth S
S 1. Don’t Make Assumptions - Do not assume that everyone around you or even those you know personally are straight
(that’s heterosexism!). UPPORTING - Ask about things you don’t understand. Challenge stereotypes and encourage those around you to do the same.
2. Be Respectful - Respect others’ identities, experiences and privacy. Remember that the LGBTQ community is diverse. There is no single “gay experience.” - Youth are the experts on their own experiences. 3. Listen More; Speak Less - Avoid speaking for LGBTQ people; let them speak for themselves. - Ask your LGBTQ friends how you can best be an ally to them. 4. Educate Yourself - Ask questions! But don’t expect community members to be your sole source of information – do some research on your own by attending community events and reading. 5. Get Involved - There are so many ways to participate! Attend Pride Month events, invite LGBTQ organizations to speak at your events, ask your elected officials to support LGBTQ affirming policies, sign a petition, participate in an AIDS walk, and vote! 6. Provide a Safe Space - Strive to use more inclusive, affirming and gender-neutral language. Validate people’s sexual orientation and gender expression.
7. Be Self Aware YY - Confront your own prejudices and bias. Understand your own feelings about LGBTQ issues.
OUTH 8. Allow Yourself to Make Mistakes - Expect to make some mistakes, but do not use it as an excuse for inaction. Acknowledge and apologize for those mistakes; learn from them, but do not retreat. - When criticized or called out, allies should listen, apologize, act accountably and alter their behavior moving forward.
9. Speak Out Against Harmful Language/ Discrimination - Break the silence. Don’t be afraid to say words like gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender out loud. - Challenge anyone making homophobic jokes or using hate speech – this type of language is harmful to everyone.
10. Be An Ally - Understand that “ally” is not an identity you can claim. LGBTQ people will know you are an ally by your actions rather than your words. Knowing marginalized people does not equal being inclusive; including those people does.
