Want to support a queer youngster in your life? Dr. Caitlin Ryan has been helping parents and other caregivers do just that for 30+ years. Hear her sage advice on this week s Out in the Bay.
What should you do when your child comes out to you, or you learn some other way that your child may be lesbian, gay, bi, transgender, non-binary or otherwise “queer”? Meet Dr. Caitlin Ryan, a social worker and the Director of the Family Acceptance Project at San Francisco State University.
Social worker Caitlin Ryan, Ph.D., was caring for AIDS patients in Atlanta during the early years of the epidemic when she found her calling. At the time, her work included meeting the Southern, often conservative families of young men dying from the disease. They would come to the bedsides of their dying children and many of them had no idea that this young gay or bisexual man was gay or bisexual or had AIDS, Ryan tells listeners on this week s Out in the Bay radio show and podcast. They would learn those two things at the same time. And they were devastated.
