This is an important perspective, Rita! We LGBTQ folks are an important example of a marginalized group who do not primarily share bonds of natal family. Our coming-out experiences often focus on fear of (or actual) family rejection.

High percentages of homeless queer youth (with trans teens being particularly vulnerable) tell us the rate of rejection is high.

Trans kids and parents of trans kids have special reason to ask Dave Chappelle to please do a better job learning about trans people and issues.
