A Guide For Families & Friends

The question is often asked, “can this condition be cured?” The answer is that
homosexuality is not an illness. It is a natural state of affairs for lesbian or gay people.

How Do I Tell My Parents?

In this booklet we are trying to help you to find the best way to approach your parents
with what maybe regarded by them as news they will find shocking. You must be
prepared for the possibility that this shock may result in a reaction that you may feel
to be rejection. Try to understand that this will hopefully become an acceptance given
time, so be patient and try not to give way to anger if your news results in what you
feel are hurtful responses.
