We support, educate, and empower the mothers of LGBTQ+ children. By confronting rejection at its root, Mama Dragons transforms fear into courage, isolation into community, and silence into pride, to create affirming homes. www.MamaDragons.org
Some days, being a good mom means holding it together. Other days, it means letting a few choice words slip - and honestly, both are valid. Our newest design says the quiet part out loud Because moms doing their best deserve a little humor along the way. Shop now! mamadragons.org/shop
It’s Shark Week! But this somehow feels very appropriate for those organizing and building community. #BeTheChange #ParentsofLGBTQ+kids #momsky
It’s International Drag Day and everyone deserves a stage name that slays! What’s your drag name? Share your name in the comments! #mamadragons #dragday
Close to the Roger Williams Park Zoo this evening? So is Mama Dragons! Come learn more about our programs! Fitting that we are in front of the elephants tonight. Elephants form life long family bonds and so do our mamas.
In a time that often feels defined by division, we choose love - not as a feeling, but as an action. Love shows up. Love protects. Love speaks up. Love makes room for everyone to belong. Thank you to Be A King and Dr. Bernice A. King for this call to love #BeLove #MamaDragons #FightLikeAMother
America's promise has never been perfection. It's been progress. Generation after generation, we've worked to expand freedom, to make our nation more welcoming, more just, and more compassionate. That work continues today. We the People includes LGBTQ+ people. It always has. #momsky #America250
Today, SCOTUS handed down a decision in Hecox v Little (but is now consolidated with the BJP case). Our statement below:
In preparation for the US Supreme Court decision on #Hecox (#transathletes) we encourage you to listen to this amazing podcast about Trans athletes and the future of sports. It breaks down a lot of what has happened that makes this such a hot button issue. Great for anyone who wants to UNDERSTAND.
Trans Athletes and the Future of Sports

No court ruling can change the dignity, humanity or worth of transgender people. No decision can erase the experiences of families Mama Dragons serves. No opinion will alter our commitment to creating a world where trans youth are safe, affirmed and loved. #translivesmatter #playsportsnotpolitics

We are expecting the Supreme Court to issue its ruling on Hecox v Little tomorrow. Hecox is the case evaluating the constitutionality of bans on trans athletes. Let’s be honest - are we expecting this conservative court to have a change of heart about trans people? No. #SCOTUS #FightLikeAMother
Mama Dragons would like to extend our love and support to @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, Chasten and their beautiful children. What has happened to them is the manifestation of so very many of our families greatest fears. #meanpeoplesuck #LGBTQfamiliesmatter #FightLikeAMother
There’s many times a parent needs support & education when their child comes comes out as LGBTQ+. There are questions. There are emotions. There are lots of unknowns. Mama Dragons is here to help with real peer to peer support & education to help you understand and support your child better #momsky
Happy Father's Day to all the dads who love, affirm, support, & celebrate their LGBTQ+ children. Today, we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, & father figures who are helping LGBTQ+ youth grow up feeling safe, valued & deeply loved. Happy Father's Day from all of us at Mama Dragons!
Heading to Missoula Montana for a huge helping of PRIDE with a side of The Chicks. #wideopenspaces #lgbtq+ #momsky
Today, Mama Dragons honors Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice. Today, we celebrate Black history, Black joy, and Black liberation, and recommit ourselves to building a future where all families can thrive. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #MamaDragons
Here’s the thing: When Idaho lawmakers said that LGBTQP+ people don’t belong, Idaho mamas disagree and are showing up for our kids, your kids and their kids. #IdahoLGBTQ #momsky #pride #fightlikeamother
We are committed to supporting, educating and empowering mothers of LGBTQ+ kids (of any age) - especially in places where it might be more conservative (in faith or politics) or under resourced. One of the benefits to actually working in those spaces? This view. No cell service. And hot coffee.
This Pride Month, it's really that simple: Less hate. More love. More listening. More learning. More compassion. More acceptance. Because every LGBTQ+ child deserves to grow up knowing they are loved, valued, and exactly enough as they are. (This design is in our shop! mamadragons.org/shop)
Shout out to our Mamas in Albany who were out at both 518 Capital Pride and BIPOC Pride last weekend. One event is a lot of work - but their love for the LGBTQ+ community took them to both. We 💚 all your families and wish you so much joy and celebration and connection. #momsky
Several US states declared June Fidelity Month instead of #Pride Month. As if Fidelity is the opposite of Pride. We believe the opposite is true. And we sent Utah Governor Cox an email telling him what fidelity actually looks like for families of queer youth. #momsky #stronglywordedemail #LGBTQ
“How old are you, Minnie?” ‘’15 prides old” It’s how we measure her age around our house. Happy 15th birthday to this old gal. #PetsofPride
When a local Kansas City teacher comes up to your Pride booth. shares her story and shows you the #MamaDragons tattoo that she got as a sign of being a safe person in her community: 🥲🥲🥲🥲. #Ally #LGBTQ+ #pride #momsky #fiercelove
Our Mama Dragons show up at #pride celebrations to show support and love for the #queer community. But more often than not, when people learn about what we do, they want to show US love. We love the authentic respect that flows back and forth at these gatherings. #momsky #hugaqueerkid #mamalove
What’s even more prevalent than rainbows at PRIDE? The dance music! 4 days later and we’re still feeling the bass from the DJ booth and coughing up bubbles from @utahpridecenter.bsky.social’s #UtahPride What an amazing weekend of community and love. #momsky #beautifulpeople #communitycare #lgbtq+
Our whole world is turning up rainbows this month. Mama Dragons will be at Pride events from coast to coast - sharing information and resources, finding new moms who need community and showing the love to the queer family. #momsky #pride #rainbowsandglitter #rainbowseverywhere
