We know very little about parental reactions after learning their child is gay, lesbian, or bisexual (GLB). This paper presents the content analysis of interviews with 12 parents of a GLB child. We examined the family context before coming out, changes in conjugal, family, parental and social dynamics after coming out, and the impact of coming out on the child’s identity and wellbeing. The analyses showed 10 dimensions of parental reactions classified under two categories : parental preoccupations with child’s sexual orientation and child’s social support. The dimensions can be of clinical use for family intervention with families of GLB youths.
