If you're like many people, your first reaction to learning that your loved one is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) is "How will I ever handle this?" Many people aren't prepared for the words, "I'm gay”, “I’m lesbian”, “I’m bisexual”, or “I’m transgender."
We have provided a lot of information here for you. We hope to help you understand your loved one's sexual orientation or gender identity, and its meaning to you, and your relationship with them. Many other parents and family members have been through much of what you are now feeling. We understand.
We can tell you with absolute certainty that you're not alone. According to some statistics, one in every ten people in this country and around the world is LGBT.
Approximately one in four families has an immediate family member who is gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender, and most people have at least one gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender member in their extended circle of friends and family. This means that there are plenty of people out there you can talk to.
We hope that the information included on these pages will help you and your family on your journey together. | |
