‘Dad, I’m Gay!’

It was great to be invited onto the Everyday Dadding podcast to talk about how you should respond if your child comes out as gay. I guess many Christian fathers, if they’re being honest, fear this conversation more than most. What should you say and do? What should you not say and do?

On the way to answering those sorts of questions, we talk a bit about parental fears, nature vs. nurture, sex scenes on TV, and a lot about underpants.

If you’re a dad with kids still at home, this is my best effort at helping you. If you’re a mum, you might benefit from listening in too. If you’re a child just about to tell a parent you’re gay, you might even want to get them to listen to this first. Thanks to Robin and Ben for having me on your podcast.
