How friend groups support someone navigating family shame around identity

Our friend came out to us but not to their traditional family, and now we're all walking this impossible line between supporting them and not accidentally causing them to lose their family's respect or love. We want to show up for them but we're terrified of making things worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
