Coming Out
DRUM Magazine East Africa|August 2017

SEXUALITY IS ONE OF THE HARDEST TOPICS TO TALK ABOUT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT INVOLVES COMING OUT TO PARENTS WHO ARE SET IN THEIR WAYS.

Coming Out

Dear Fran,

My daughter who’s just joined University came out to me recently and revealed that she is attracted to women. I have had a hard time coming to terms with this, but I know her father will have an even harder one. He is set in his ways and might even disown her. My daughter doesn’t want to hide this and would want help reaching out to her father. How should she go about it?
