"Parents represent and interpret society to a child or adolescent. A parent's reaction defines the world's acceptance or rejection. It determines whether a child will feel secure, confident and optimistic--or rejected, frightened and unvalued. The two most effective strategies to overcome discrimination against gays and lesbians are the simple acts of coming out, and parents' accepting and embracing their gay children. Then the neighbors, friends and co-workers of the parents begin to re-think their reflexive rejection of gay people. That's how a minority that has faced ostracism and prejudice achieves society's understanding and acceptance." --an activist gay man
