Accepting Gay Children
A devout Christian, Mary Lou Wallner was devastated when her lesbian daughter committed suicide in 1997—a daughter whom she says she had rejected, believing homosexuality was a sin. Now, as head of TEACH Ministries, which she founded in 2001, Mary Lou and her husband, Bob, speak to Christian groups around the country, urging parents to embrace their gay children. Gayle talks with Mary Lou about how Christian parents of gay children can avoid tragedy and heartache through acceptance.
