@expert - coming out books

Hi, I've decided to come out this easter.

I need help in terms of getting the right book/s for my parents.
I've been told that it's a good idea to have some reading material ready for parents who have just learned that a child is gay. I would appreciate the titles, and where I can buy the books, in Cape town.
Thank you!

Hey Mamma's Boy,
Not sure of any books, but you could also print some of the articles from the 'series of articles' above. There are some very good ones there.
Best of luck...and hope all goes well
