My daughter is Gay: I'm so confused

Thanks for the response. I agree that I want to be open with her sex life because its better to be open than hiding it from me. And I am talking about "having sex" not preference. I'll look into that group too! Really appreciate it!

 

I agree that your invented percentage doesn't make sense. If there's anyone to speak about hijacked threads, crandc would be the expert. Anyway, I'm all for sexual integration of the persuasions, as your family practices, which is why I oppose all this artificial hatred between sexual orientations.

Speaking of reducing prison sentences to one-tenth of what they are now, here's the latest short article against the police state.

The elections are over, jlprk. We don't need any more men pontificating on what is or is not "legitimate rape".

Magnifier, glad if anything I said helped, I mean, so far as I know, I am the only one here who has actually experienced being a lesbian.

 

I am not a lesbian, but I do love women (and I look like a dude)! I consider it close enough.

(Sorry in advance for the poor taste of humor.)

 

I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

 

Yes, we need more of your angry pontificating about how bad men are.

 

Boundaries are boundaries. When you thought she was straight, you wouldn't let your daughter have boys in her room, then you shouldn't let her have girls in her room now.

First things first though. Call for an exorcism to get rid of that lesbian demon inside her. Then maybe some shock therapy anytime she makes eye contact with another female.

 

How dare you. I have more experience via film than you'll ever have. Just because someone didn't play in the NBA, doesn't mean they won't be a good coach, amIright?

 

Awesome to see being a dad done right, mags. Hope when my sons are that old they feel free talking to me about it if one of them is gay.

Although I've had gay friends and gay roommates, I'm not sure how well I'll handle it if one of my sons tells me he's gay. I mean, I know I'll say all the correct things. But I'm really, really close with my older son, to the point where he reads my face like an open book. (He's only 7.) I want my boys to have wives/girlfriends because it's what I did--I think it's only natural to hope your kids do the same things you do. I'm honest enough with myself to know that an instant of doubt or disbelief or maybe even dread could cross my face in that kind of conversation.

I like GOD's anecdote about how his parents handled it. I'll probably start a conversation like that preemptively. Seems like I'd probably handle it better if I'm not surprised by it.

 

Don't get me wrong. I was a little shocked when she came to me; but in the end I just wanted what's best for her. She knows where I stand with her choice, as being something I wouldn't want; but I think I earned the deepest respect when I handled it the way I did.

She told me last year and currently we run jokes about it. I mean I see a hot girl and I look at her and say "Dang, you see that hotness?!?!" She laughs and says "I don't look at girls like men do!" Hahahaha

 

Treat her the same way you did before she told you she was gay.

 

Agreed. What's the difference?

 

He can't really do that, or he will be a hypocrite. If he wouldn't allow his straight daughter to have boys in her room, then he shouldn't allow is gay daughter to have girls in her room. However, before he knew she was gay, he probably had no problem with that

 

this.

But my daughter seems really respectful and doesn't seem to take advantage of the situation.

 

Since she's 15, he's closing the barn door after the horse escaped. Either you respect a teen's PRIVACY, or they'll find it elsewhere.

 

As a recent teen, I can confirm this as true.
