    Hey Everyone!

    As you may or may not know, I recently came out to my parents. They said they loved me, but weren't supportive. They also are having problems reconciling my sexuality with their religious beliefs. I was wondering if anyone had any good links to articles or websites that might offer them some insight. There isn't a PFLAG chapter anywhere near where they live otherwise I'd direct them there. Here are a few that I was thinking of sending them:

    Just Because He Breathes | Learning to Truly Love our Gay Son… (Christian parents learning to love their gay son for who he is)

    Ten Things I've Learned About Gay People in Ten Years | A Christian Perspective | (Christian woman learning to understand)

    Matthew Vines | The Gay Debate: The Bible and Homosexuality (Scripture Debate)

    PFLAG: Parents, Families, & Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG page)

    Anybody else know of any good ones? (They don't need to be Christian based)

    I'm Jewish and I loved the "Just Because He Breathes" article...it was one of the things that helped me feel ready to come out to my parents after being in denial for 10 years.
