2. The relationship between parents and young gay
Most documents in Vietnam as well as in the world when studying the relationship between gay youth and their parents tend to focus on the difficulties that the This youth will encounter when openly to their parents about homosexual tendency. These young people have to decide whether public or not, and if they would openly publicize when and how to reveal the trend of their homosexuality with their parents.
It was found later cognitive processes on sexual orientation by itself is the most difficult task of gay youth are openly homosexual tendency for parents. This is considered a difficult and complicated. Because it's such an expression contrary to the expectations of the parents. Most parents are skeptical on what their children reveal. However, the fashion sense and behavioral manifestations partly caused their parents believe they are gay. Many young people do not dare to reveal the trend of their homosexuality for fear of being insulted, humiliated and expelled from home, they can not overcome the prejudice, stigma of ones and this may lead to emotional disorders or physical.
Most parents after aware homosexual tendency of their children often have feelings and actions cause fear for their children. However, there are progressive parents, they must undergo a series of stages before they can accept the sexual orientation of their child:
they shocked the first phase, due to social prejudices and fears fear their children risk being abandoned, isolated. Parents tend to refuse to admit anything different about her son. They relax, pray for change in their children by bringing their children to a specialist or assume that only the irregularities of adolescence.
Then the anger and guilt. There are parents feel angry, disappointed in myself, they feel guilty that their children were "rebels" because of their lack of interest.
Next, after the anger and guilt, the parents admit feelings and concerns of young people, but not necessarily accept their conditions as ethics, the "normal" time for how long .. .
Late, true acceptance of the parents can be achieved step by step through the acceptance of silence, coupled with the increased level of understanding of gay and lesbian causes, parents will become insight and intimacy with their children more. At least, at this point, sexuality and identity of youth are rarely the focus of attention and conflict in the family.
However, there are parents never reached the latter stages. In such cases, some youth may feel regret for having revealed to the parents; Relations with parents became strained and perhaps that relationship can hardly be restored as before. Meanwhile, a young man can become "heirs" of his own family. This makes youth feel scared, they tend to alienation, guilt, afraid to communicate and lack of sense of trust for the members of the family. These negative emotions exist in a latent and long term lead to tensions and contradictions to those who disagree and their families. Tension, conflict stems from a lack of mutual understanding, and empathy gap.
Whether youth's concerns when public is real or just assumptions and negative reactions parents are like, at this stage it is difficult to determine because there are now relatively few empirical studies to examine the nature of the relationship of young gay parents. Some documentation for that process of youth and public reaction of parents is almost the same for most young gay men with their parents, but this hypothesis has not been proven. Many educators, doctors, health care providers and other professionals almost no doubt on this point, this may affect the approach to young gay and parents of them.
So, when, how and why youth openly to parents and parents' reactions when they publicly? Solve these problems, the nature of the relationship between parents and youth will be clarified, including the role of parents for gay youth; public reason or no publicity for parents of homosexual tendency.
