This book follows the McDonald family’s journey over the next twenty years, from a place of grief to a place of gratitude and acceptance that led the McDonalds’ to start one of the first Christian ministries for parents of LGBTQ children. But even in the earliest days of their journey, the McDonalds clung to two absolutes: they would love God, and they would love their son. At first they tried to “fix” him, to no avail. Greg and Lynn McDonald had never interacted with members of the LGBTQ community until they discovered that their son was gay-and without resources or support, they had no idea how to handle this discovery. A sympathetic, compassionate, and inspiring guide for parents.
