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?
Who Can I Talk to?
PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) was founded by
parents who have been through what you are going through now.
PFLAG provides support for parens and family members in your situation.
Attend a few PFLAG meetings at your local chapter. What do you have to lose?
What you have to gain, however, is indescribable!
If there isn't (or even if there is), consider joining PFLAG's unofficial
"virtual chapter" on the Internet.
There's no substitute for talking with another parent who has been there before you.
