Visiting family for the holidays can be an anxiety-inducing affair, but for many of our LGBTQ+ loved ones, a lot can be at stake. Whether it’s fear of being outed, navigating tense conversations from unsupportive family members, or negative family reactions to meeting a partner or spouse, there are a LOT of worst case scenarios to potentially brace for.

While there are countless great articles about how LGBTQ+ people can better handle holiday stress and conflict, few resources share how allies can be part of creating a supportive and inclusive space for their LGBTQ+ friends this time of year.

PFLAG National’s Straight for Equality program has some great tips for how to be an ally to your LGBTQ+ loved ones this holiday season! Check out our resource, How to Ally for the Holidays, today at pflag.org/resource/how-to-ally-for-the-holidays
