Help for parents

I don’t care what color parents have. I don’t care if a giraffe lives with a fish. What matters is that children receive appreciation and love from their parents. That’s all that counts.

Coming out of your own child

For some parents, it can be a surprise when their child comes out. Sometimes questions arise:

  • “Should I have known earlier?”
  • “What does this mean for my child in terms of relationships and personal development?”
  • “How can I best support my child on this topic?”
  • “Did I react properly to the coming out?”

Most of these questions can be easily clarified through a calm and supportive conversation. We – the Rosekids – are here to support parents, just like BEFAH. BEFAH is the alliance of parents, friends, and relatives of homosexuals.

Parent initiative BEFAH

There is also a regional group of BEFAH in Freiburg: formed by and for parents to exchange and support each other. In Freiburg, Doris Eisele is the contact person for BEFAH.
