Abstract
The subject of the article is the parental experience of coming out of a child with a queer identity, in the context of a socio-political landscape in which homophobia and transphobia are a significant problem. Drawing on the results of two empirical studies conducted in Poland, the authors focus attention on two themes: (1) parents’ reactions to their children’s coming out as queer persons, and (2) the disclosure of the identity of a “parent of a queer person.” Analysis of the data indicates the complexity and processuality of parental experiences and the variety of strategies used by them.
