Summary
Coming out to Mom is a lesbian rite of passage. In the third edition of this landmark anthology, 34 remarkable women face their fears and confusion, prejudice and misunderstandings, and speak honestly and bravely about the difficulties and joys of life with their "different daughters." Among the topics of discussion are family, community, religion, grandchildren, bisexuality, transgenderism, and coming out.
