The discovery that a child is lesbian or gay can send shockwaves through a family. A mother will question how she's raised her son; a father will worry that his daughter will experience discrimination. From the child's perspective, gay and lesbian youth fear their families will reject them and that they will lose financial and emotional support. All in all, learning a child is gay challenges long-held views about sexuality and relationships, and the resulting uncertainty can produce feelings of anger, resentment, and concern. Through a qualitative, multicultural study of sixty-five gay and lesbian children and their parents, Michael LaSala, a leading expert on this issue, outlines effective, practice-tested interventions for families in transition. His research reveals surprising outcomes, such as learning that a child is homosexual can improve familial relationships, including father-child relationships, even if a parent reacts strongly or negatively to the revelation. By confronting feelings of depression, anxiety, and grief head on, LaSala formulates the best approach for practitioners who hope to reestablish intimacy among family members and preserve family connections as well as individual autonomy well into the child's maturation. By restricting his study to parents and children of the same family, LaSala accurately captures the reciprocal effects of family interactions, identifying them as targets for effective treatment. Coming Out, Coming Home is also a valuable text for families, enabling adjustment through relatable scenarios and analyses.

As mainstream America becomes more aware of the needs and concerns of the nonheterosexual community, gay, lesbian, transgendered, and bisexual teenagers are revealing their sexual identities to their parents at a younger age than ever before. Drawing from over 150 original interviews with teenagers, the author separates fact from fiction in this survey of coming out experiences. Drawing from existing developmental research, the wide range of family reactions and factors that determine how parents come to terms with the disclosure over time is illustrated. The author reveals that the coming out experience is greatly influenced by gender, and chapters highlight common mother-daughter, mother-son, father-daughter, and father-son dynamics. Tips on how parents can be helped to negotiate the coming out process and learn to support their child's emerging sexual identity are suggested at the end of the book.

You already have an idea of who you are. Should you inform others?It's natural to have reservations about coming out (announcing that we're gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender to others). On one hand, it may feel like a relief: friends may be asking you questions that you avoid or find difficult to answer. You, on the other hand, are likely to consider how your world might change: What will the public's reaction be? Will the people you tell pass the information on to someone you'd rather not know? People choose to come out for a variety of reasons. Here are a few examples: They're ready to start dating and want to tell their close friends and family. They don't want people making assumptions or gossiping about them. They're tired of hearing preconceptions and bad labels applied to them by others. They don't want to feel like they're living a lie or not being true to themselves, and they want to be accepted for who they are. There are numerous reasons why people choose not to come out, including: They don't know who they are or how they feel yet. They're still trying to find out what's going on. They believe that matters such as sexual orientation and gender are personal and that there is no necessity to discuss them. They are terrified of being bullied, harassed, discriminated against, or even assaulted. Their families are unaware, and they are concerned about what might happen if their parents or siblings learn. Coming out can be a little tricky that is why I made this book for you, to make it super easy for you, this book contains super effective guidelines you need to follow. Coming out is a personal decision that must be made. Take some time to consider what's best for you. CLICK ON THE BUY BUTTON TO GET YOUR COPY!

PAPERBACK ORIGINAL A stunning new photobook featuring more than fifty portraits of children brought up by gay parents in America, sixth in a groundbreaking series that looks at LGBTQ communities around the world Judges, academics, and activists keep wondering how children are impacted by having gay parents. Maybe it’s time to ask the kids. For the past four years, award-winning photographer Gabriela Herman, whose mother came out when Herman was in high school and was married in one of Massachusetts’ first legal same-sex unions, has been photographing and interviewing children and young adults with one or more parent who identify as lesbian, gay, trans, or queer. Building on images featured in a major article for the New York Times Sunday Review and The Guardian and working with the Colage organization, the only national organization focusing on children with LGBTQ parents, The Kids brings a vibrant energy and sensitivity to a wide range of experiences. Some of the children Herman photographed were adopted, some conceived by artificial insemination. Many are children of divorce. Some were raised in urban areas, other in the rural Midwest and all over the map. These parents and children juggled silence and solitude with a need to defend their families on the playground, at church, and at holiday gatherings. This is their story. The Kids was designed by Emerson, Wajdowicz Studios (EWS).

From bestselling author of The Book of Delights and award-winning poet, a book of lyrical mini-essays celebrating the everyday that will inspire readers to rediscover the joys in the world around us. In Ross Gay’s new collection of small, daily wonders, again written over the course of a year, one of America’s most original voices continues his ongoing investigation of delight. For Gay, what delights us is what connects us, what gives us meaning, from the joy of hearing a nostalgic song blasting from a passing car to the pleasure of refusing the “nefarious” scannable QR code menus, from the tiny dog he fell hard for to his mother baking a dozen kinds of cookies for her grandchildren. As always, Gay revels in the natural world—sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbor’s fig tree—and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us. The Book of (More) Delights is a volume to savor and share.
