[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I've told her that I will check her texts, but I don't do it often, and I never tell her when I have done it. I don't know if she thinks I actually check it.

I will let it be for a while. I told her about a lesbian wedding we've been invited to over the summer. I think I'll leave the door open with positive comments. I just hate that she is afraid to tell me, but I kind of understand. I guess having progressive and open parents doesn't take away all of the stress of coming out.

Thank you, everyone! [/quote]

Good idea.

Another aspect of this is that I think having a "coming out story" is an important aspect of being gay.  It's kind of a milestone.  So even though I know your intentions are beyond awesome, I feel like it's kind of important for her to reach that place herself.  So she truly feels like she has that shared experience that every other lesbian has.

I guarantee, she will understand if you start dropping those positive comments.  She seems to be thinking of what to say anyway, so if you kind of drop a few "Sarah came out, isn't that awesome?" that will nudge her in the right direction, and it won't take too long.[/quote]
