“The opposite of war is not peace it's creation, it's justice, it's the slow rebuilding of what was broken. Peace is not the pause between wars it is the daily work of restoring life.”

Yesterday, Kansas lawmakers advanced two bills targeting transgender people: forcing trans residents to surrender accurate driver’s licenses and opening the door for private citizens to sue someone they believe is using the “wrong” restroom. Let’s be clear: this is not about safety.

You shouldn't have to have a trans child, grandchild, friend, neighbor or coworker to care about the infringement of their rights... Just a heart.

Let's go, our Youth Voices alum Marlin spoke UP! "Every kid should be able to feel safe and welcomed in all schools. We live in incredibly scary and uncertain times, and for many trans youth, schools are the only places where they can find hope and be themselves."

Today, Mama Dragons is proud to partner with the Human Rights Campaign to uplift transgender and non-binary youth through the power of stories. Whether you read at home, at school, or in your community, every reading is an act of affirmation. #NationalDayOfReading #LGBTQ+ #MomSky

“Surely we can all agree no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents’ arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents’ will,” Trump concluded. Yet, he wants to step between us and our trans children and let the state make decisions for our children against our wishes.

Affirmation from parents of LGBTQ+ children correlates with higher life satisfaction and better family relationships. Having ONE affirming parent reduces suicide rates by 42%. Be the change we want for our children. Join us at www.MamaDragons.org/join

Just sayin… #SOTU

Tonight, during the #SOTU, we expect to hear a lot about “protecting” America & that transgender people will be used as political talking points - framed as problems to solve instead of human beings to love. Division and fear may make headlines. They may rally a base. That doesn’t tell the truth

Our Mama Dragons rallied for trans youth in Washington on Monday. Showing up for our kids when it feels like things are darker and more dangerous is how we show love out loud. #breathefire #fightlikeamother (Yes we sell these signs in our merch shop) #momsky #LGBTQ+

It's really not. It just requires a little kindness and empathy for our fellow human being. Strengthen community. Be a good neighbor. We need each other. #mamadragons #BeADecentHuman #momsky #parenting #LGBTQ+

We advocate for our LGBTQ+ children in all the places decisions are made. How do you show your love? #Happy🩷Day #MamaDragons

“The only thing more powerful than hate is LOVE!” We’ve been saying that since our founding mothers broke with the Church over policies about our LGBTQ+ children. LOVE isn’t weak. It isn’t ‘woke’. It’s a powerful connection to the things that matter. And LOVE always wins. #halftime #BadBunny

Pauli Murray imagined justice as expansive, not restrictive. As a Black, queer, gender-nonconforming legal scholar, poet, and priest, Murray’s legacy reminds us to keep widening the circle, especially for those most pushed to the margins. #PauliMurray #LGBTQHistory #BlackHistory #QueerHistory

Religious freedom is meant to protect belief not justify harm. It should never be used against anyone - for any reason. We can honor faith and uphold dignity, fairness, and human rights for all.

As a mother, I've learned that no one truly understands the journey of raising an LGBTQ+ child unless they've walked it themselves. Don't let anyone who hasn't been in your shoes tell you how to tie your laces. You know what's best for your child. Trust your instincts & embrace your strength.

As parents, one of the most powerful ways we can support our LGBTQ+ children is by standing up, speaking out, and showing them unconditional love. Let’s continue to show our kids they are celebrated for exactly who they are. And showing up for them where decisions about them are being made. #momsky

Hate is counting on our silence. Love calls us to speak, organize, and protect those who are LGBTQ+, immigrant, have disabilities and are part of communities of color. When hate is loud, love must not be silent. #mamadragons #momsky

Meeting the moment when it’s hard to think of your next step… #resist #momsky

The early findings of the study are stunning -- we are only one year in, and already over three-fourths of our respondents have increased anxiety symptoms, nearly 70% have increased depressive symptoms, and over 40% of the family members of LGBTQIA+ folks have increased PTSD symptoms. #mentalhealth

Mama Dragons is helping to get the word out about the OUT Community Survey, an unfunded, all-volunteer effort to capture the mental health consequences of Trump’s anti-LGBTQIA+ policies on EVERYONE connected to the LGBTQIA+ community. Please take this 20 minute survey and share with others #momsky

Having a conversation with a kiddo who doesn’t want to go to school tomorrow. Me: Is it because it’s so cold out and you don’t want to walk in the cold? Her: No. Because we haven’t had a class in this. Me: In what? Her: In what to do when the policeman wants to steal you from your school.

History reminds us: truth and love outlast tyranny every time. When the moment feels heavy, we hold fast to that legacy and keep showing up with courage, compassion, and hope. #mamadragons #gandhi #truth #love #momsky

No parent should ever be okay with laws that single out or harm any child. Let's stand united, fighting for a world where every child is embraced, celebrated, and protected. Every child. #momsky

Can’t get any better than this on #NationalHugDay ! Love, your Mama Dragon #HugsForQueerKids #HaveYouHuggedYourLGBTQ+KidToday #momsky #parenting

Ongoing study: ‘Trans Youth Project’ out of Princeton University. #mamadragons #LGBTQ+ #momsky

We have a podcast! This week, we are talking to the creators and contributors to the book “Glitter Blessed: Already Whole, Already Holy” - a collection of blessings, poems & spells crafted by and for queer and trans people. But all of us can find inspiration and courage here.

When we organize, we win! #organize #resist #peoplepower #unity #momsky

On World Religion Day, we choose love and radical acceptance for all our kids, no exceptions. #worldreligionday #mamadragons #momsky #LGBTQ+

Welcome to all the new followers! Thanks for being part of the community that stands up for #LGBTQ+kids (of all ages). Our work is to create affirming homes, prevent youth suicide, and support/educate/empower mothers of LGBTQ+ kids. We work in the hard spaces where support is hard to find. Join us

We’re investing in advocacy training so parents have the tools, language, and confidence to stand up for their #LGBTQ+ kids in every room where decisions are made. When our children are targeted, we don’t stay silent, we get prepared, we get organized, and we show up. #mamadragons #momsky

Many state legislatures are in session now. The Supreme Court is moving through its docket. Congress is doing 🫥. We are still out here fighting for all our children. We brought in 21 moms who are new to the journey of parenting LGBTQ+ kids and need support & education. What’s your win this week?

Mama Dragons is the original non-profit organization for conservative religious mothers of LGBTQ+ kids - showing up, speaking out, and protecting our kids long before it was safe or popular to do so. Our demographics have shifted over the years but we are still here fighting for our kids #momsky

Heard outside SCOTUS at today’s rally: A grown woman with a ‘Protect Women’s Sports’ sign walking up and asking a complete stranger ‘What genitals do you have?’ Since when was THAT ever acceptable?

We’re at the Supreme Court today - standing up for trans athletes of all ages. While the Justices hear the oral arguments with the attorneys inside , we are outside standing with our families, advocates and organizations who WILL NOT forget the T in TEAM. #LetThemPlay

When the hurt feels like it’s everywhere, Mama Dragons shows up with love, protection, and care, for our kids and for each other. #mamasmakeitbetter #loveloveLOVE #momsky

We're angry because we’re being told to ignore the harm we can clearly see. We're angry because people we love are being hurt & because we know that a more just & compassionate world is possible but we’re watching it be taken away. Our rage is not a flaw. It comes from a deep love for humanity.

Mama Dragons reaffirms our commitment to ending conversion therapy. We’re focusing on education ensuring parents can protect their kids from harmful, discredited practices. Affirming care saves lives. We will fight for a future where every LGBTQ+ child is safe, supported, & free to be who they are.

Gender Diverse people have always existed. Two Spirit people. Transgender people. Nonbinary people. Intersex people. They have every right to exist and to define their own lives. This moment in time may be fraught for them - and their families - but trans people will ALWAYS exist.

Love them. Celebrate them. Help them to celebrate themselves. #mamadragons #momsky #LGBTQI+ #parenting #authenticlife #happykids #love

Because who doesn’t need community in this moment? #momsky #LGBTQ+ #parenting

Holding a special place in our hearts for those who will lose their children in the midst of a war they do not seek nor support.

Love first. Always. #LGBTQ+youth #parenting #purpose #momsky

2025 challenged our families in many ways. 2026 is going to be another ‘all in’ moment and we will be in all the places decisions are being made that affect our #LGBTQ+ children - whether that’s across the kitchen table, in the schools, the halls of legislatures or on the steps of SCOTUS. #momsky

Last day of 2025. Whew - we made it. What’s one thing you are leaving behind in 2025 and one thing you are carrying forward into 2026? #momsky

2025 asked a lot of our families and Mama Dragons rose to meet the moment. Through it all, one thing stayed true: when mothers come together, lives change. As we head into 2026, we carry the stories, courage, and connections of this year with us -and we’re just getting started. #momsky #LGBTQ+
