On this episode, we will be wrapping up our series on LGBTQ issues in schools.  This was originally supposed to be a two part series, but my dear friend Kandy Cox Dillion who was on the first two episodes about this topic pushed me to do a third where we look at this issue from the parent perspective. So, today I welcome back Kandy along with two other parents of LGBTQ youth, Samantha Boyd and Heather Reisenbeck to discuss their experiences with the school system while raising a teenager that is part of the LGBTQ community.
