    I bought my mom "My Child is Gay" and "Is It a Choice?".

    The first one is a series of letters from parents writing about their gay children and the second is a series of questions and answers about what it means to be gay. My mom didn't really enjoy the first book as she just had found out I was gay and it was difficult for her to relate to the letters of the parents (most of whom had known about their child being gay for a while). I would highly recommend the second book: "Is It a Choice?" , it pretty much has an answer for whichever questions your parents might want to ask and it's in its 3rd edition so it is refined and up-to-date.
