How should parents react when told something they were not expecting in this regard?Ashdin talks to Yoshita Dave to get her expertise on this topic. Yoshita gives some amazing examples of cases that have come to her - she talks about her cousin from the US who is homosexual and totally cool and open about it. Yoshita mentions the troubles her cousin had when he was first coming out to his parents. Ashdin and Yoshita also talk about why it's important to normalise all kinds of relationships, be they heterosexual or homosexual relationships, and the importance of being comfortable with who you are and what you've found out about yourself. Yoshita also talks about how it can be helpful to confide in a friend or a relative first before opening up to your parents about this, the advantages of seeking out professional help, the importance of being non-judgemental, and lots more.
