Speaking with adolescent kids about sex is often an awkward conversation for parents. It can be especially challenging for parents reacting to news that their son or daughter is lesbian, bisexual, gay or questioning.
On Tuesday, Planned Parenthood Association of Utah will host a panel discussion aimed at answering parents’ questions about how to talk to their children about sexual orientation and health.
University of Utah experts Lisa Diamond and David Huebner, along with a parent-and-teen duo, will speak. Huebner recently released an online film, “Lead With Love,” that advises parents on how best to show love and support for their LGBT children. Diamond studies attraction and relationships.
The free event starts at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 28, at the I.J. and Jeanné Wagner Jewish Community Center, 2 N. Medical Drive, Salt Lake City. Parents, grandparents and teens are encouraged to attend and to ask questions.
For more information about this event, please contact Annabel Sheinberg at Planned Parenthood, 801-532-1586.
