We have a gay son. He had known that he was 'different' since he was six and we were sad that he'd had to cope alone. He was 23 when he told us. Now he is happy, with a wonderful partner, Justin, whom we also love. Society needs to recognize its LGBT people as citizens with equal rights and responsibilities. We work towards that.

I have befriended parents of gay children for 30 years. Since that time, social and political circumstances have changed a great deal, but the core problems facing parents of gay people seem to have remained very much the same.

I am the mother of a lesbian daughter. I regret that I made the transition to acceptance much harder because I wasn't prepared, and I wasn't informed. Four years on, I feel privileged to have had the experience.
