A Parent’s Perspective

Some parents find it very hard to come to terms with learning that their son or daughter is gay – especially if they are evangelical Christians.

It can seem that it goes against everything they have been taught in their faith.  It often results in parents feeling torn between their son or daughter and their Christian faith.

So here are the stories of a mother and father realising that their son is gay – with deep thanks to Janet and Bruce.

Bruce – a Father’s story

Janet – a Mother’s story

Help and support is availble for parents who are grappling with this at FFLAG (Family and Friends of Lesbinas and Gays)
