These questions are all leading up to how has gays coming out to there parents changed since 2000 to 2012. I chose this topic because im Bisexual  myself and it was very dificult to tell my parents about my prefrence. I feel that people should know about how children are and were treated when they chose to come out to parents. According  to (Anthony R. D'Augelli ,Scott L. Hershberger ,Neil W. Pilkington.)   “Those who had disclosed reported verbal and physical abuse by family members, and acknowledged more suicidality than those who had not “come out” to their families.” I will question this quote, and ask whether its true and how has that changed as time has progressed.  The questions below will lead me to find out just how much time has changed people and there actions.

 
Essential questions: Which one: Which age would be good to “come out” to your parents?
How: How can (gay kids) know when to or not to tell their parents?
What if: What if ever (gay child) grew up with their parents; instead of being throw out?
Should: Should (gay kids) just not tell their parents they are gay, bi or other?
Why: Why would a parent throw/banish there kid just because of their preference?
Main question: Has coming out to parents changed since 2000 to 2012?
