How would you react if your son told you he was gay?Out of the
Twilight: Fathers of Gay Men Speak explores how fathers have dealt
with discovering that their sons were gay and what effect it had on
their own development as parents and people. This revealing, moving
book will help you understand the difficulties and joys of a
father/gay son relationship. Out of the Twilight draws from
literary sources such as poems, fairy tales, plays, novels, and
movies, as well as psychoanalytic theories, to highlight the
obstacles that a father must overcome to understand and identify
with his son. In Out of the Twilight, you will discover the
personal and intimate struggles of these fathers, including:
Mitchell, whose son, Jay, came out at the age of twenty-one, and
who describes the coming-out process as a means of forging a closer
father-son relationship Juan Miguel, who knew and accepted that his
son was gay before his son told him, and who discusses how his love
and complete acceptance made the coming-out process easier for his
son Peter, whose response to his son, Richard, was ordering him to
live at home so the family could look for a 'cure'for Richard's
homosexuality Daniel, who admitted that he himself was gay after
being married and who was very accepting when his son, Charles,
came out since it provided them with a special bond Marty, whose
response to his son Gary's coming out was to join P-FLAG, an
organization for parents of gay and lesbian children, so he could
find support and acceptance among other parents who were going
through the same thing Out of the Twilight allows you to see how
fathers have struggled with the truth about their sons' sexuality.
This book presents a unique opportunity to develop a greater
awareness of and appreciation for father/son similarities and
differences, and suggests that through time, communication, and
love, fathers can become comfortable with and respectful of their
sons' homosexuality.
