This review is from: Accepting Your Gay or Lesbian Child (Audio Cassette)

First of all, my parents are a little backwards. Most mom's accept their gay son while the father has a lot of difficulty with it. Well, my dad was okay with my sexuality within a few days, my mom was a different story.

When I first came out to my mom, she didn't know what to say. I told her that if she has any questions to talk to me. I was completly open and ready to talk about it. All she could say was that she had all there words swimming around in her head, but she didn't know what to do with them. So, I knew she need some literature. I couldn't find any book worth giving to her. Then I found this tape. I listened to it to see if it was worth it. It was. I sent it to her and then she finally knew what she wanted to say. Since then, we've have lots of long conversations about almost everything, gay or straight (mostly gay).

I got this tape because I knew that my mom didn't have the time to sit down and read a book. The only time when she wasn't doing anything and still had energy was during the drive to and from work. Also, with a book, she didn't like having gay literature lying around for anyone to find - it made her uncomfortable. So, I got her the tape so she could play it while she drives in complete privacy and comfort.

It worked. As a result of this tape, the relationship between my mom and I has become stronger and more like it used to be when parents don't have to worry about their child's sexuality.
