Delivered in the first episode of Love You for You, a new series from KQED spotlighting the relationships between transgender young people and their supportive loved ones, the moment reminds us that loving a child for exactly who they are is a privilege, an opportunity for a beautiful, uplifting life.

They are engaging in court battles, launching organizations, and, perhaps most importantly, fostering loving home environments as the anchors their children need.It doesnt seem all that newsworthy when a parent wakes up in the morning and provides their trans child with basic love and care, but it is critical to remind ourselves that this is indeed happening in thousands of households across the country every day. The accepting parents of trans youth are a force to be reckoned with. Our November Issue celebrates their openness, their warmth, their fervor, and their grit. These unsung heroes must navigate the everyday challenges of parenting while simultaneously contorting themselves into shields so their children can live some semblance of a normal life as the entire country debates their very right to exist.The parents of trans youth know their kids are more than the pronouns they use or the locker rooms in which they change, and they are fighting desperately to help the rest of the world see that, too.Over and over again, we at LGBTQ Nation hear from trans parents that their kids gender identities are the least interesting things about them. So our November Issue lets those who know them best help the rest of us see them for the silly, passionate, talented little people they are. Its easy to get lost in the double-talk and smoke blowing and forget about the real human children behind it all, but their parents never do.We hope this Monthly Issue helps you remember, too, that for every viral story about hate, there are dozens more stories hiding in the shadows that are all about love.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
