You'd think that in 2008, that parents would react differently when their son or daughter discloses information that nine times out of ten, the parents already knew, but as Tatianna's parents showed us all, that simply is not the case.

So after the principal in Memphis and then Tatianna, I've been giving a lot of thought to this never-ending issue of coming out as it relates specifically to Black families.
