[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had crushes way before that. first grade I think. And lots of other kids in the class said they did too.

I distinctly remember having butterflies in my stomach at age 9. Ryan. He was so cute and was so nice to me.

Kids that are are too young for acting on crushes but not for having crushes. Their sexually doesn't matter here.

[b]Maybe examine how you feel about the possibility of your daughter being gay (even though only they can really know). Some parents feel like they are very supportive of the LGBT community until it looks like their kid might be part of that community. It can be hard to imagine them potentially getting teased[/b] and not having the traditional nuclear family you imagined them to have. [/quote]

OP here.  Thank you to everyone for their replies.  Very helpful and respectful.

As far as your post, the bolded def ran through my head.  What if she tells a girl she likes her and gets rejected, then she gets teased about being gay.  Or how does she know who is gay and who isn't, when she's ready to date (not as easy as there is a cute boy. I like boys. maybe he will like me, kind of thing).

Ultimately, as long as she's happy, I really don't care who she falls in love with eventually.  It did make me consider not moving to states that are not protective of the gay community.[/quote]
