Nothing makes us happier than seeing parents changing the world for their kid and the LGBTQ community as a whole. Jamie Bruesehoff is an incredible writer, speaker, and advocate for transgender young people in New Jersey, in addition to being the mom of three kids (including a transgender daughter, Rebekah) and a clergy spouse. In the last few months, Jamie has put on events in her community focused on making churches safer and more accepting for LGBTQ youth and was recently a speaker at the ELCA National Youth Gathering in Houston, Texas and at the New Jersey Trans Youth Forum. She also works alongside other local advocates in New Jersey, most recently on a new bill that was passed that removes the surgery requirement for changing a gender marker on a birth certificate, and adds a non-binary gender marker as well!
Jamie also writes about her life on her blog and gives some pretty incredible advice here on My Kid Is Gay! It’s parents like Jamie, and kids like Rebekah, that help us see a brighter future ahead 🌟
