Lectures For Lifelong Learners!

Most grandparents of LGBTQ+ grandkids want to be supportive. They also have questions, and nowhere safe to ask them. This is that place. Elena Joy Thurston knows this journey from every side: she was raised in a conservative faith, she’s a mom of four, and when she came out, her family had to learn how to meet each other where they were. She brings that hard-won understanding (and zero judgment) to every conversation. Elena walks you through the language (what does the plus mean, anyway?), answers the questions you’ve been too nervous to ask your grandkid, and shares the number one thing queer grandchildren wish their grandparents knew. Come with your awkward questions; Elena has heard them all and welcomes every one. You’ll leave with real understanding, practical dos and don’ts, and a simple way to show your grandchild a love they’ll never forget.
