How to talk to parents...



 
 

  • be honest
  • explain your feelings
  • listen to what they have to say
  • ask them to meet your partner
  • talk to them, don't tell them
  • try to discredit their stereotypes with facts
  • come prepared for anything
What to do if parents do not accept the relationship...
  • if you are older (out of school), ask them to trust your judgment
  • find a support network (see our Organization  and Information pages)
  • if the relationship is serious enough, be prepared to separate yourself from the discrimination
  • if you are still in high school, be realistic and don't do anything too drastic
