We previously discussed things to consider when coming out to one's parents, but what if you're the parent and you think your child is gay, lesbian, bisexual and/or transgendered and want your child to come out to you?  We receive calls from some parents who believe or even know that their children are gay, yet have not heard it first-hand from their kids.  They sometimes experience feelings of hurt that their children might not trust them.
