Parents Magazine - June 2022
Grandma gets an important lesson on how to love kids for exactly who they are and how they want to express themselves.
Amy Dickinson, syndicated columnist and author, has long received requests for advice from wide swaths of the population crossing a range of political identities and perspectives.
Recently, Dickinson received a request for advice from a "Devastated Grandma." The woman's devastation comes from her grandson, 17, who wore what was, assumedly, a fabulous purple gown with matching purple nails to his school prom. Grandma wrote, "I was concerned for my grandson's safety, as he would be a target if he is so flamboyant."
