AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY
(Produced by the Denver Chapter of PFLAG, 1991, 28 minutes)
Reviewed by Syd Jackowitz

An underlying theme of the video is that being a parent of a gay or lesbian child can be challenging and eye opening. Most gay children grow up with feelings of being different and not knowing what to do with these feelings. When our children come out, our relationship is changed forever, but what we are left with can be wonderfully authentic.

The video starts with an explanation of PFLAG and specifically the services provided by PFLAG/Denver. It continues with a discussion of homophobia and the problems with homosexuals learning about themselves in a homophobic environment. This is followed by various interviews with gay and lesbian youth and their parents discussing the coming out process and how parents deal with their kids coming out. As parents, when our children first come out, we are filled with guilt, shame, and anger, fearful of what others will think. But with help we can move past this and on to acceptance and advocacy.
