Be Yourself:  Questions and Answers for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth.

Faith in Our Families:  Parents, Families and Friends Talk About Religion and Homosexuality.
Discovering that a loved one is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender can pose new questions about your faith and may prompt you to re-evaluate beliefs that you previously took for granted. By using personal experiences, this publication provides examples for reconciling your faith with the knowledge that a loved one is gay.
