Further, she spoke deeply about the challenges she faced during this period, emphasizing that all she really wanted at that point was acceptance by her family and loved ones. She advises parents to love their children unconditionally no matter their sexual orientation.

Pamela said: “when I came out, my family was angry and shocked. I did get married but it didn’t last because I came out. When I did that I faced a lot of opposition from family and friends, my parents once brought a priest to the house to pray for me.”
