For Those Whose Loved Ones Just Came Out
Click on the questions, and see the answers below:
What is happening to me?... Why tell me? Is it my fault? Who recruited my child? What about the law? Should we tell? Is there objective information? Is it a sin? Is it unnatural? Am I in denial? How does my child feel? Is there a cure? Why doesn't my child "act gay"? Will my child have a lonely life? No more grandchildren? Who can I talk to? What about AIDS? Any books I can read?
Does it Mean No More Grandchildren?
Many options are available to gay, lesbian and transgendered people for raising children,
both their own and children they adopt. If your gay child wants children,
he or she can have them, and that makes you a grandparent!
Incidentally, gay men and women have been found consistently to raise healthy children.
Children raised by gay parents have the same likelihood to turn out gay as those raised in heterosexual
families.
