I love it when publicly homophobic people have to deal with a gay child in their own home. That's the situation in this story from PinkNews:
The daughter of a vehemently anti-gay activist has revealed that she is a lesbian.
Claudia Contrada, whose mother Amy Contrada forms one half of the US hate group MassResistance, has stood up for young people struggling with homophobia in their homes or communities.
In 2005, Mrs Contrada attended a conference which advocated sending gay teenagers to conversion camps.
MassResistance is a homophobic organisation in Massachusetts, which has campaigned zealously against all pro-gay developments since its inception in 1995.
Describing her relationship with her mother, Claudia Contrada admits that "It's difficult."
"I am a lesbian, which my mom still does not get. She just says that I am confused.
Hopefully Mrs. Contrada loves her daughter enough to see through homophobia and learn a lesson about acceptance.
