I just talked to my sister, and apparently my 12 year old niece just accidentally outed herself at school as a lesbian. Anyone got suggestions for good coming out presents that are supportive?
For those of us who came out in the 20th century, books were an essential source of information, and validation (we're important enough that they made a book for us!). With those who grew up with the internet and limitless information, perhaps other items occupying physical space might a;so be reassuring.
A pride flag to hang on her bedroom wall? A poster? A pride keychain? A pin to put on a bookbag in a safe environment? Stickers A coffee mug
And of course, there are a lot of clever coming-out greeting cards to choose from:
I know I’m late to the party, but your niece might like the Heartstopper comics by Alice Oseman. I recommended them to my friend who has a sixteen year old daughter who identifies as bi. She really enjoyed them.
