Today is National Coming Out Day.

Coming out should always be a choice, not a mandate. But forced-outing bills, laws that require teachers or schools to disclose a student’s LGBTQ+ identity without consent, take away that choice and put young people in harm’s way.

To every LGBTQ+ person and every parent supporting them,
You are not alone.

There is a community ready to stand with you, cheer for you, and remind you that your story is worthy of joy and hope. 🌈

Watching the #Emmys tonight? We always love seeing people celebrating outstanding performances that make us laugh, cry, rage or think deeper about life and all the things that matter… but we also love seeing all the people who thank their mamas for loving and supporting their dreams. #dreambig

Every LGBTQ+ child deserves a parent who says: “I’m so glad you’re exactly who you are.”

When parents show up with love and acceptance, the world becomes safer, brighter, and more hopeful for their kids. 🌈

At Mama Dragons, we believe love is louder than fear, and it changes lives.

This cup says ‘Love Wins’ and I needed that reminder today. Too often we measure victory by who we out-argue or put down. Real wins aren’t about crushing others - they are about choosing compassion, opening hearts, and building something better.

Today- I’m choosing LOVE. It’s the only way through

So much of parenting is shaped by who we want our kids to become…
But what if we started by believing they’re already that person?

Kids rise when they feel seen. And they shine when they are treated as whole. Not someday, but right now.

Believe in who they already are.

In a world where too many LGBTQ+ kids are told they don't belong, let this message ring loud and clear-
YOU ARE SAFE WITH ME

We believe in creating spaces where every child feels protected, loved, and free to be exactly who they are. No exceptions. No conditions.

#YouAreSafeWithMe #MomSky

In a world that often whispers love in silence and shouts criticism in noise, let your kids be the ones who never have to wonder where they stand. #mamadragons #loveloud #NOWistherighttime #momsky

Ever find yourself scrolling and find something completely off mission but too adorable to pass up sharing? Yeah - me either.

This whole thread is worth reading. Thanks @agoadesq.bsky.social for this information.

Mahmoud v. Taylor was an awful SCOTUS decision, an attack on the humanity of 🌈 families and on some of the basic premises of public education in a pluralistic society. But it’s not the end of the world or of inclusive education...

When your child comes out to you as LGBTQ+, the most important words you will say are "I love you."

Has your child just come out and you’re not sure how to respond?
Are you wondering if it’s okay to question what you thought you knew about parenting, identity, and faith?
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to learn.

It’s okay to feel conflicted when your child comes out.

At Mama Dragons, we know what it’s like to hold faith in one hand and a child’s identity in the other. You don’t have to choose between them. Just keep your heart open and your family strong.

It’s #SharkWeek so let’s talk about survival.

Shark pups are born without guidance or protection. They dodge oceanic predators or don’t make it

Humans need more. We need support and #love. We need each other.

Because when we face something bigger than us - #unitysaveslives.

Our Kansas City mamas sharing our embracelets (our own PRIDE-version of #friendshipbracelets) with #TaylorSwift. Or maybe she was the drag version of Taylor. Either way, we had some serious fun out in the wild for #Pride! #mamadragons #youneedtocalmdown
