Is it now "in style/cool" for teen girls to be in romantic relationships with other girls?

This is shown to be he case in other primates and mammals as well.

It's kind of like being right handed or left handed. Most people have some kind of ambidextrous ability. A small percentage falls as totally right or left handed.

Sorry, but I believe that humans are evolved well beyond primates and other mammals and thus have some level of discernment associated with their sexual preferences. Or, they at least should.

If you think you can convert someone to gayness you need a lot of educating.

Not true at all. You can definitely convince dumb impressionable kids to try something new to be cool. Young people are pressured into sex like that all the time. Then they get caught up in the gay thing and don't know how to get out of it

Hee hee. That's funny, PP.

Well we haven't evolved much out of murder, anger, territoriality, and a whole bunch of other things. Survival and reproduction are basic, biological needs to any creature.

But I guess there's no point in arguing science with someone who doesn't want to understand it. But FWIW, There are social advantages to forming a wide variety of romantic and sexual relationships with your peer group, from a survival standpoint. That would include within the complex social structure that humans have.

Sure, humans can discern but it doesn't change biology. You can also teach a left handed person to write effectively with their right hand. It doesn't make them any left handed from a biological/ physiological standpoint.

It's just a silly way to indicate a bestie. Like "work wife" or something.

Oh, yes, this is real "science." PP, you have no idea what you are talking about.

I think saying you're "in a relationship" with a girl at that age is basically winking at that silly euphemism (because aren't we in relationships with a LOT of different people?) and it's a way of saying "I'm not interested in dating. I've got by bestie. I'm good."

OMG this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. So how come we haven't been able to pressure all those gay kids into the straight thing all these years?

I sure hope you don't have gay children, you would be a terrible parent to them.

There are a ton of gay people who have been pressured into and then stuck in the straight life (they get married, have kids, feel trapped, etc). You're just proving the PP's point.

It may be that we as a society now give room for the curiosity that many experience at that age. We allow them to explore openly what many of us in an earlier generation did silently, at camp, in high school, and college. It's developmentally appropriate.

Maybe this is no more than an indication that these girls want to appear open-minded. Whatever the case, whether it's a phase or simply an expression of sisterhood, who cares?

I'm prepared to accept my children's evolving interest in sexual awareness. It's a natural part of growing up.

It's ironic. It's something that happened with the advent of social media and demands that you disclose your relationship status. Teenage girls responded by choosing each other. There's no actual love/sex relationship happening.

Exactly. Yet another thing that is in and of itself "developmentally INappropriate" for kids this age.

I care. It's the last thing I want condoned and given to dumb, impressionable young kids as an option.

This is the approximate proportion in my DD's social circle, too. Something other than deeply held conviction is clearly going on here.

Perhaps you should consider an early arranged marriage then? I mean, if your teen doesn't get snapped in by those gays, they might end up swayed by one of those poors!

As noted they are being taught discernment!
