"Many straight parents want to be allies but aren’t sure where to begin, and that’s OK. We most likely didn’t learn about LGBT+ topics in school nor had these conversations at home before. "
Just Like Us is the LGBT+ young people’s charity that We work with 4 in 5 secondary schools and thousands of primary schools to tackle bullying and ensure LGBT+ young people can thrive. They provide support and training to straight parents to help support their LGBT+ children.

Banchory Academy also supports a Gay-Straight Alliance, student-led organisation that seeks to create safe and inclusive environments for LGBT+ students and their allies. There is a link in our Pupil Area for more information.
