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

There are literally thousands of examples of homosexual behavior in animals other than humans. Yet, somehow most species seem to survive.

I love it when pro-gay agenda types resort to saying that, because they claim homosexuality is so common in the squirrel commuity (How do they actually know that, btw?), therefore, it must be the norm in the human population as well. As though humans are not the tiniest bit evolved beyond animals.

I love how anti-gay bigots use "nature" as an excuse then say it only applies to humans.

Granted, this is from Wikipedia but I'm not going to spend more time researching a counter-point that will likely be dismissed by you out of fear and ignorance anyway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_displaying_homosexual_behavior

You've completely missed the point. Even if this is true, so what? Humans are (supposedly) the most evolved of all animals and thus are supposed to show some level of discernment in our actions, controlling impulses that lesser-based. Animals pee and poop in public, too. In theory, we do not.

What exactly is lacking discernment, or 'lesser', about loving another person? Why is gender relevant at all? How is any consensual romantic relationship wherein the partners treat each other well similar in any way to a discussion of excrement or where one goes to relieve themselves?

Then don't say homosexuality is "against nature" because it isn't. Also, many people who are anti-gay also don't believe in evolution, so there's that.

I'm curious- when did you decide to be heterosexual? I'm assuming that you sat down, weighed the pros and cons of homosexuality, bisexuality, and heterosexuality. Then you decided that you would be attracted to the opposite sex. Right? Or did you find yourself looking at boys (or girls) back in elementary school and think someone is cute? Think back to your first crush- who was it? Did you really have any choice in your attraction?

I will love my son or daughter unconditionally whether they are gay or straight. I really hope you would do the same.

You people really missed the point and hijacked this thread.

to try to get this back on track...

Facebook came out when I was a freshman in college. Many girls were "in relationships" or "married to" their best friend. Nothing sexual about it.

Totally off topic, although your post proves how crazy OP's situation with her daughter's friends is. Sexuality is not supposed to be a choice, right?? You keep saying that. But then these airhead 14 year olds are with girls today, boys tomorrow, groups next week!!! It's all fine. If I "knew" at a young age that I was heterosexual, then what's up with all the back and forth banter kids today engage in? Aren't they SURE???

You're really running with this whole slippery-slope angle: today its those gays, next week it'll be incestuous gang-bangs with monkeys and squirrels!

My opinion- kids are making a choice to identify as something on Facebook that may or may not be their true sexuality. Part of it may be a fad, part of it may be showing support for their friends who have come out already, part of it may be trying to get a rise out of their parents who are SHOCKED by such immoral behavior.

I think you're confusing someone's actual sexuality with what button they're clicking on a social media site. They likely are different things.

Perhaps. But what's to stop the slippery slope? What's shocking today is accepted tomorrow and promoted as a norm the next. It's indicative of the direction we're going and yes, it started years ago with the sexualization of children.

Women have been legally marrying women, and men have been legally marrying men, for 10 years in the US, and so far, no incestuous gang-bangs with monkeys and squirrels. So I feel pretty confident that the need to worry about incestuous gang-bangs with monkeys and squirrels is not urgent.

Gee, a whole 10 years, just here in the U.S. And before that, never before in the history of the civilized world. You really have a deep perspective, don't you?

That slope must not be very slippery if it takes a millennia to slide down it.

Honestly- you come across as overly paranoid about the future if you're honestly worried about how The Gays will be corrupting our poor children. Do you really want to go back to the days where Rock Hudson had to live and die hiding who he loved? That was only 20 years ago- just let people live their lives without stressing about imaginary Slippery Slopes.

Well, if you want to worry about the possibility of incestuous gang-bangs with monkeys and squirrels, then you should do that. You should also feel free to say, "I oppose the marriage of two consenting adults of the same gender, because I am worried that it might lead to incestuous gang-bangs with monkeys and squirrels."

Probably people in 1929 were worried about the slippery slope of extending the franchise to women -- first women (never before in the history of the civilized world!), then monkeys and squirrels. And who knows? It's only been 96 years. They might be right.

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

Please form your own outside the Beltway Blog. You really don't belong here.

It's not an "agenda". What you are seeing is younger people embracing diversity and understanding that homosexuality, bisexuality, a-sexuality, ..... are every bit as valid as heterosexuality. Frankly, I'm embarrassed that so many of my peers (I am 50) are so far behind in their thinking. Teen girls have learned that it is safe to explore sexuality. They understand that no one has the right to tell another person who they can and cannot love. And they view romantic love as something bigger than gender.

So if people don't agree with you, they are "behind in their thinking?" Fascinating.

No. People certainly have the right to their opinion. However, people who believe that black people and white people shouldn't marry are behind in their thinking. People who think that homosexuals shouldn't marry are no different. This is simply another civil rights issue. Those of us capable of rational thought understand that no one has the right to tell another consenting adult whom they are allowed to love.

Actually it is not. Blacks and white marrying was a racist thing. Right vs wrong. Being a homosexual is against nature. If everyone was gay, we would go extinct. It is similar to vaccinations. The anti-vax are mostly okay because the rest of the population vaccinate. Same with gays. They get their adopted kids because they depend on the normal heterosexuals to birth babies for them.

I completely agree with the vax vs gay analogy. Never thought of it like that but it is so true.

Except that gay children are born from heterosexual parents. So there's that.
