This study contributes to the discussion on the experiences of LGB youth and their parents in Hong Kong. In particular, it provides novel empirical evidence of self-reported experiences of 148 parents who had LGBT children, where any data on this group has been extremely rare as they have been a hard-reaching population. A few key points will be elaborated and highlighted. First, both LGBT youth and parents perceived coming out as important. LGBT youth wished to disclose their sexual orientation to their parents. Parents wished their children to come out to them. LGBT youth perceived getting their parents’ acceptance as important.
