Exodus Youth


Many people fight silently and alone with the painful questions surrounding homosexuality. Young men and women struggle with their sexuality, wondering why they're attracted to the same gender, wondering if that's the way it has to be, but too afraid to tell the people they love. Parents watch their children engage in self-destructive lifestyles but aren't sure how to help them without pushing them further away. Children with a gay parent wonder how to love them without condoning their lifestyle. These are not easy questions - they're truly heart wrenching. But you're not alone in this - whether you're a struggling youth, a parent or family member, or a pastor, there's help here for you. To start, you might want to contact an Exodus ministry to get some immediate help.

	Youth Pastors You may not know or even be aware of some of the sexual and emotional struggles your youth go through day in and day out, struggles that the church has often put on the backburner. These are issues many wish to avoid, but doing so speaks volumes to those lost on the other side of this neglect. You have to prepare yourself - you need to start asking yourself, "How would I respond?"
Children with gay parents Feel like you're the only one in the world who has a homosexual parent? You're not! Although no conclusive studies have been able to show just how many of us there are, many predict the number to reach the thousands! That's right; there are others who can understand you. They have suffered the sting of "queer" jokes and felt similar frustration when people, after hearing of a parents' homosexuality, too quickly offer canned advice or congratulations without ever bothering to ask how you feel.
