In this qualitative study, the semi-structured interviews of 202 self-identified Christian parents were examined to determine church changes, parents' disclosure to others in their church, other church-goers' reactions, the support that parents received, and the usefulness of the support. Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) methodology was used to extract common themes from these interviews. Research indicates that LGB individuals have experienced a variety a reactions from those in their life and those in their religious communities (Hilton & Szymanski, 2011, 2014; Phillips & Ancis, 2008; Savin-Williams & Ream, 2003; Freedman, 2008; Ryan et al., 2009; Ryan et al., 2010; Erspamer, 2013). It was expected that parents of LGB children would have similar experiences. Research also suggests that parents seek out and generally benefit from support in various forms (Ryan et al., 2010; Diamond & Shpigel, 2014; Fields, 2001). Religious parents of LGB children are likely to seek out some types of religious coping resources (Erspamer, 2013; Maslowe, 2012), though many of them feel disconnected from their faith communities at the time of disclosure (Phillips & Ancis, 2008; Bozard & Sanders, 2011; Yarhouse & Tan, 2005; Miller & Chamberlain, 2013; Ginicola & Smith, 2011). The research in this area underrepresents the type of organizational religious support that parents receive and the reactions of other church goers to the disclosure that their child is LGB. Results of this study indicated that the majority of parents stayed in their current church, while those who left did so either because they liked the qualities at a new church or because of complications at the old church. The majority of parents disclosed their child's sexual orientation to other church goers and experienced a variety of behavioral and emotional responses. Many parents stated that they did not receive support from their church. For those who did receive support, more of them said it was from non-organizational sources from the organization itself. However, the overwhelming majority of those who received support stated that it was useful and beneficial for them. Implications for clinicians, parents of LGB children, and directions for future research are discussed.
