The question was:
How did you react when your daughter came out?
Well since my best friend is a lesbian, my great aunts were lesbians (when I was a child in the 70's) and I was actually married to a gyrl in a mans body, it didn't phase me at all. I see no reason that it should ever be an issue or a big deal.
I have a hard time understanding WHY it becomes one for so many people and families. (but remember I am always the biggest FREAK in the room -LOL)
I raised my daughter to believe that LOVE IS LOVE and that silly things like gender are not even remotely important. I used to run a self esteem class for pre-teen girls where we discussed things like "attraction to boys or not" and the normal feelings and developmental stages we all go through. She was raised to deeply understand and Know that things like gender, sexual identity AND sexuality are NOT binary ideals or concepts and that what IS important is everyone's equal right to acceptance, love and happiness.
We all subscribe to the philosophy THAT ANYTHING between two (or more) CONSENTING ADULTS is nobodies business. period.
so rock on.
