"I often get asked by parents for resources that can address the struggles of raising LGBT sons and daughters without having to leave faith behind. Susan Cottrell's book, Mom, I'm Gay, does just that. This is the kind of book that parents will love. No one should ever have to choose between who they are, whom they love and what they believe. Sadly, though, many parents feel caught between their faith and love for their LGBT child. Cottrell helps parents find a way to see their faith as a means of helping them to love better, including loving their children better, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation. I am very grateful for this book." - Sharon Groves, PhD, Director, Religion and Faith Program, The Human Rights Campaign
"Susan's book captures the essence of what Christian parents struggle with when their child comes out. It challenges parents as they navigate the minefield of what they've heard in church and what think they understand from the Bible. What's unique is this book doesn't go the typical route of challenging verse-interpretation. The writing comes from Susan's heart as a personal experience of her faith and love for God and her family.
