[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. I guess what disappoints me is that I always imagined one day she would find a loving husband and would one day have a traditional family of her own. I looked forward to attending her wedding, and watching her marry her groom, and adding a son-in-law to the family (all my children are girls). I realize of course lesbian couples can marry and have children. But I feel society still attaches some stigma to these family structures and doesn’t perceive then as fully “normal.” So as much as I want to be supportive - and I will fake it if I have to - the truth is, I’m feeling sad.

You just answered yourself here — it’s not that society doesn’t think it’s normal (in fact society is so much more accepting of gay marriage and gay parents now a days with the exception of fundamental conservatives) YOU don’t think it’s normal. This is a you problem which means that you should seek help on getting over it. Regardless if your daughter ends up gay or bi or anything else. If you have undertones of “sad” it will come out and it will harm your relationship. Go talk to someone now and figure this out before your daughter says anything.

It also sounds like you have other daughters. Trust me, they’re watching your reaction to this, too. [/quote]
