Each year a number of brave men and women will sit down and tell their parents that they are gay. By the time they tell their parents they will have lived with this knowledge for some time. It is often the parents who have only a split second to react. My Child is Gay is a compilation of letters written by parents who have a gay or lesbian child. The letters have been written to be shared - both to help parents cope with and come to term with their feelings, and for gay men and women who are contemplating sharing the truth. Few parents are accepting from the start and many feel perplexed. They are unsure where to turn to for help and how to deal with their feelings of grief and loss. Here the parents talk about how they dealt with the many emotions they experienced - anger, embarrassment, guilt and confusion. Together these letters reaffirm the regenerative power of love and allow those with first hand experience to outline the important steps on the road to understanding. My Child is Gay shows how ordinary families have found love and happiness again.

This book is intended for both the parent newly acquainted with a child's gay sexuality, and those parents who are still struggling to make sense out of it. It's meant to be a reassuring book from a pastor who has been involved with these parents and issues over a lifetime. Why reassuring? Because, as you will discover in these pages, there is nothing wrong with your child that is related to sexual orientation. Yes, there will be challenges and obstacles to overcome such as declining societal rejection, potential bullying, reorientation of true friendships and family relationships, job and other overt forms of discrimination, and the like. But these all can be met without any lasting harm to the parties involved. This book will help you sort out your feelings and provide you with up to date information that will help you navigate the uncharted course. Many others have successfully navigated these waters before you and we will be drawing on their successes.
