UPDATE: THE DEPOT HAS ANNOUNCED THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO APRIL 20 (because of weather delaying the installation of a new roof). Join other parents for an informal conversation about this common question for many parents, and frankly, a question ALL parents should be asking themselves, because this situation could always happen! During this talk, we will discuss what it means to be “questioning” one’s sexual orientation or gender identity, and if my child is experiencing this, or their friends, and how to support them. Questions may arise such as: What do these labels mean? Is this normal?
