The sentimental music will make you vomit.

The standard of journalism will make you wonder...

Not for the intelligent...quite possibly, the target audience!?

How do parents feel when their child tells them that he or she is gay? An aspect of homosexuality not taken up too often. CNN-IBN’s Anubha Bhonsle spends time with 4 sets of parents, to document how they responded when they learnt their child was gay. Parents from different parts of the country, different backgrounds, different sections, yet standing together as parents of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender children. Stories of how parents came to accept, understand and stand by their children, and why they are standing up to the self-appointed guardians of family values.
