Title: Support for Parents
Post by: JQ on January 20, 2015, 12:51:19 PM
Hey everyone, if you've read my recent post you know that my SO came out to his parents last night. I'm looking for resources to help them. They are VERY new to the lingo, even with understanding the difference between gender and sexual orientation. I know there are a few resources on this site. Any books or articles you recommend? Also any articles on research? Anything that can help them slowly process all of this?

Thanks in advance.

I hope these are useful. They vary somewhat in level of detail.
