How to Create Your National Coming Out Day Video
As the AIDS Quilt told the story of a generation, this year for National Coming Out Day, we’d like to create a patchwork of stories from you.
What Can Parents Do if They Think Their Child is Gay?
Our 14-year-old son, who has periodically expressed dismay at homophobic people and actions, may or may not be gay. My wife and I have told him that either way would be OK with us. If he is gay, is there anything else we should do to make him feel comfortable about coming out to us?
How Can I Help My Partner Come Out to her Parents?
My girlfriend is currently struggling to come out to her parents. Do you have any advice for us, especially (for me) about how to maintain a supportive stance in the face of her ambivalence and (for her) about how to know that you’re making a good decision to come out?
How Can I Help My Lesbian Daughter Deal with Coming Out?
My very shy 19-year-old daughter came out to us, her parents, about six months ago. We are very accepting and she knows we love her and want her to be happy. She is away at college as a freshman. But she has been unable to be outgoing enough to meet other lesbians on campus because of her shyness, even though there are opportunities. I’ve also told her that she knows what she needs to do when she is ready. Any advice or book you can recommend?
How Do I Come Out to Siblings?
My son came out to us a year ago. Now my husband and I are struggling with how to tell his three sisters (ages 11, 14 and 17). I don’t know what their reaction will be. Will they need counseling? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
