Summary

Straight Parents, Gay Children: Keeping Families Together is Robert Bernstein's moving account of coming to terms with his daughter's homosexuality, together with dramatic and engrossing stories of other parents who, like him, feel the experience has enriched their lives. If you are the parent of a gay child, Straight Parents, Gay Children reassures you that you are in the best of company (including the vice president of the United States). Lesbians, gay men, and their parents abound in every walk of life-including the clergy, business, law enforcement, professional sports, government, and on stage and screen. Book jacket.
