I was talking with a friend of mine about how he told his parents he was gay. And I asked him to ask his parents which books helped them the most. His dad is a pastor as well so I figured the books that helped them would also be good for my folks someday. These are the books that he mentioned, and so I wanted to list them here for the day I may need them....
Here's the list:
Here's the list:
- Coming out as Parents by David Switzer (My friend said he sent this one to my parents and they said it was the best one out of all the books they read)
- Pastor am I Gay by Howard Bess
- The Family Heart-A memoir of when our Son came out by Robb Dew
- What God Has Joined Together by Letha Scanzoni and David Myers
- Straight Parents Gay Children by Robert Bernstein
- Homosexuality and Christian Faith by Walter Wink
- What the Bible really Says about Homosexuality by Daniel Helminiak
- Movie: The Truth About Jane

I have a feeling that your mom is going to be great. I believe her love for you is really larger, larger than her fears about the unknown and her fears about homosexuality. Undoubtedly it may be shocking and take some time for her to wrap her heart and mind around this information, and I know she'll find love, compassion and support for you in a way that is meaningful for you. It might not come immediately, but it will come. When you give her the opportunity, she'll be there! Much love to you! - Zuzu
