Here at ReachOut we have been in support of marriage equality from the beginning. It's a position we hold because we believe in the fundamental right of all human beings to be treated equally. We are vocal in our support because we also know that young people who identify as LGBTIQA have a greater chance of experiencing:
We care about marriage equality because we care about ALL young people. Which means, now, we worry about the plebiscite because we worry about the impact it may have on young people.
Here is a video ReachOut made that provides support and suggestions to parents who want to support their teenager through this debate. Even if your teenager does not openly identify as LGBTIQA, there's a chance they have friends who do and they may feel strongly about the rights of their friends.
Feel free to share the video on your personal social media profiles if you want to. The more parents who watch this, the greater level of support young people will receive.
It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
