With the constant harboring of conservative families and lack of proper education on parenthood, queer youths and adults are being thrown out on a global scale for trying to be themselves. If you are someone with any sort of privilege (i.e. being straight/cisgender, male, white, financially stable, etc.), it's important to understand the trials and tribulations that minorities face on a daily basis. What you can do to address this situation is seek out accessible resources, digital or analog, that provide unbiased information about LGBTQ+ communities, both local and online. Below is some basic information about common attributes and traits that queer people associate themselves with. There is plenty more information to be learned in the long run, and people are indeed capable of learning it, but consider these as a start for your path to understanding and accepting queer culture.
