Who is Chappell Roan? What Parents Need to Know

Source: Focus On the Family

overview

Chappell Roan is a pop singer. She grew up in a Christian family but later left that faith. Her music often deals with same-sex relationships and LGBTQ+ themes. She has become a popular figure among young people, particularly in the LGBTQ+ community. Focus on the Family encourages parents to talk to their children about Roan's music and values. As your kids move into their teen years, though, the dialogue needs to shift from that firm “No” to a genuine conversation about the issues involved with a song or artist like this one. We want to equip our kids to do this thinking on their own by the time they leave our homes, and that will require a transition from a hard “No” to practicing discernment in dialogue together, gradually granting them freedom to make those listening decisions themselves.
