- Summary
- "Most of the existing literature on homosexuality describes gay males, with lesbian experience sometimes added on like the tail of a ktie. This book is different. It draws evenly from the stories of lesbian daughters and gay sons. It was planned that way. This book is different in another way that was not planned, not anticipated. It shows, ever so consistently, that lesbian daughters have more difficulty with their parents than do gay sons ... Why did all these gay children tell their parents? What were the circumstances that led them to this decision? How did they tell them--what words did they use? And how did those parents react--immediately, and months later. This book gives the fascinating answers to all those questions and many more."--Publisher's description.
