In this moving account, a father shares how he came to accept his child’s homosexuality–and how other parents can support their gay children in a word that doesn’t always accept them.
Robert Bernstein’s Straight Parents, Gay Children discusses the myths surrounding homosexuality, fighting the stigma surrounding queerness, and, in turn, urging others to do the same. This book is a survival guide and a call to action for all parents who wish to help their gay children cope in a world that has a tendency towards cruelty.
If you are the parent of a gay child, Straight Parents, Gay Children reassures you that you are in the best of company.
