To all queer youth with unsupportive family members this Pride:

I'm your mom now.

Wear what makes you feel good, even if only alone in front of a mirror. Clean your room, not because that's a mom thing, but because cleaning your space can improve mental health. Stay hydrated, eat good food, and remember to take your meds.

It won't always be like this. You aren't alone, and I'm here if you need to talk to someone supportive. I love you even if we've never met.

Love,
Dragon Mom
