Show Notes
Braxton Dutson discusses the complexities of sexual fluidity with Lisa M. Diamond Professor of Psychology and gender studies and Author of Sexual Fluidity: Understanding Women's Love and Desire (2008). Lisa identifies how her research lead to a greater understanding of Sexual Fluidity, and understanding the complexities that are often overlooked in a "straight, Gay or Bi society." Lisa identifies ways parents can best react to their children who are dealing with changes to their sexual identity. She gives meaningful suggestions on how to best address the array of emotions that can come during this time. We discuss how sexual preference is impacted, how homosexual, bisexual, and heterosexual individuals all experience Sexual Fluidity to one degree or another. We specifically discuss parental concerns and experiences, and how to apply the LEAD with Love principles to continue building loving relationships with your loved ones as you both process the changes occurring.
