A number of studies have been done on the effect of people coming out to their parents. A 1989 report by Robinson et al. of parents of out gay and lesbian children found that 21% of fathers and 28% of mothers had suspected that their child was gay or lesbian, largely based on gender atypical behaviour during childhood. number of studies have been done on the effect of people coming out to their parents.

What is the meaning of BC and AD? And what does BCE and CE mean? AD does not mean âAfter Death.â It is an abbreviation for âAnno Domini,â which is a Latin phrase meaning âin the year of our Lord,â referring to the year of Christâs birth. BC means before Christ. So at the time of this writing, 2011 AD is intended to signify that it has been 2,011 years since Christ was born.
The simplest reason for using BCE/CE as opposed to AD/BC is to avoid reference to Christianity and, in particular, to avoid naming Christ as Lord (BC/AD: Before Christ/In the year of our Lord).Wikipedia, Anno Domini article :hen I was a kid, I was always taught to refer to years using BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini / year of our Lord).
