**Coming out to grandpa - An original short story told by Joo Hymn

grandparents...

**Our journey - Mdm Yiap Geok Khuan and Eileena Lee

"Yiap Geok Khuan, 67, mother of Eileena Lee who's openly lesbian, told the crowd why she was there: "This (homosexuality, bisexuality and transgenderism) is God's gift to them (gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people) and is a natural trait. It's is not an easy journey for them and as parents, we should stand by them and overcome society's prejudices."

| SAFE presents 'a community affair' |
This is a repost:
Saturday, 9 June 2007
4 - 6 pm
Pelangi Pride Centre @ Bianco
21 Tanjong Pagar Road #04-01
* Do you want to know more about homosexuality?
* Do you have a gay or lesbian child/family member and want more information but don't know where to find it or how?
* What is this "gay lifestyle" that people tell you about?
Come to 'a community affair' organized by SAFE and Pelangi Pride Centre, for information on supporting, living and working with LGBTQ individuals.
Pelangi Pride Centre will give a short session on 'Homosexuality -
Facts & Myths'.
Other LGBTQ community groups that reach out to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered communities in Singapore will be there to tell you about the activities offered to the community and the important role they play in the support and self-development of our gay family members and friends.
Following the presentation, you will get the chance to mingle and chat with supportive parents and affirming counselors. There is also an extensive library of gay-related non-fiction/ fiction books and resources for browsing and borrowing.
This event is organised for those new to the LGBTQ community, especially straight family and friends who want to find our more about this community in Singapore. They will be given priority to this event.
We look forward to welcoming you to 'a community affair' on Saturday, 9 June 2007 from 4-6pm at Bianco, above Mox Bar & Café at 21 Tanjong Pagar Road #04-01.
Sign up today by sending your RSVP to safesingapore [at]gmail.com. Registered guests will be seated on a first-arrive, first-seated basis.

As parents, we all love our children unconditionally. However, most of us are not prepared to hear our child say, "Mum, Dad, I'm gay."
In such an event, you need to know you are not alone. There are many parents in similar situations and while it may feel as if you have lost your child, you haven't. Your child is the same person he or she was yesterday. And many parents can, and have from such situations, developed stronger, closer relationships with their children than they ever had before.
This has been the case for all the parents, family members and friends of gay and lesbian people, who will share their stories with you at this afternoon family get-together.
Come and join them in conversation as they help you:
- understand and handle emotions of shock, denial, guilt or anger
- understand the truth of what being gay means
- move towards understanding your son or daughter better
- encourage and support him / her in a largely unaccepting society
- manage relationships with other family members, relatives and friends
- and for those who have a religious faith, come hear from religious leaders how faith offers comfort and acceptance for our LGBT family members rather than condemnation.
SAFE aims to help families stay together, stay close, stay connected and stay committed to building relationships that are too precious to lose. If you believe We Are Family, and would like to attend this conversation, please register and join us.
To register, please contact us your name, contact number/email, and the names of your guests (if any) at safesingapore[at]gmail.com by Friday, 27 April, 6pm.
Seating will be available on a first-arrive, first-seated basis.Labels: Events |
