Although not every parent will have an LGBTQ child, their child will jump rope or play tag with a child who is LGBTQ. By showing readers the importance of having open and authentic conversations with children at a young age, Chris Tompkins walks parents through the many ways they can prevent new generations from adopting homophobic and transphobic beliefs, while helping them explore their own subconscious biases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffering specific actions that parents, family members, and caregivers can take to help navigate conversations, address heteronormativity, and challenge societal beliefs, \u003ci\u003eRaising LGBTQ Allies\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a guide to help normalize being LGBTQ from a young age.
