I’m trying so hard not to fail the gays this pride month but it’s really hard to tell if I’ll be able to get something done in one day, on the plus side, everything i’ve started in preparation with my fem!Zelink au in mind could easily fit into Zelink week so I may not be able to get something done this month, but I’ll have like four things done in like a week and a half so hopefully you guys will forgive me lol. I might just reblog the au to give people who are interested a chance to catch up before I practically double the content for it lmao

As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.
For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.
But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.
Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.

Me: Hey, me. I just wanted to say how proud I am of us, not signing up for any exchanges this year.
Me 2: Huh, for the first time in over 5 years, we're free during Heart Attack Exchange.
Me: And I'm just so happy that we're not stressing out over due dates or—
Me 2: TIME TO DO THE SIGNING UP!
Me: ...
Me 2: Were you saying something?
Me: I'm gonna go walk us in front of a bus.
