Relatively few empirical studies have been conducted on parents' reactions to learning that their daughter or son is lesbian or gay, and very little is known about parents from outside the United States. Eight mothers in Taiwan participated in interviews regarding their reactions to learning about their daughter's or son's nontraditional sexual orientations and identities. In Taiwan, these sexual orientations and identities are collectively known as Tongzhi. Qualitative analyses suggested that participants generally accepted their child's Tongzhi orientation and identity. The mothers also reported having a close relationship with their Tongzhi child and were concerned about the negative biases against lesbian women and gay men in current Taiwan society. Implications of the findings were discussed.
