[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have zero interest in my child's sexual life.  Apart from I hope they are healthy, happy, treated well.... The only people whose sexual life I am interested in are people I am romantically attracted to. What any body else does is of NO interest to me.  
Your child is a soul, wrapped in a body.  The genitals of the body are irrelevant.  As is how your child chooses to enjoy their flesh or enjoy it with other people.

I wish you could just focus on what's important - loving the person you love, and not caring about their flesh (beyond health) or relationships.  I mean really, what difference does it make?[/quote]
Perhaps, but would OP feel sad if her kid were marrying someone of a different race? That, too, makes life more difficult and yet I don’t think OP would feel the same way. I think OP is right to be ashamed of her feelings and good on her for realizing she should work to change them, it’s for her kids’ and her sake. The stakes are too high (to their relationship) to complacently say, it’s my feelings, so it’s fiiiiiiiine, it’s not about homophobia at all…sorry, but that’s bullshit. OP, you’re on the right track; keep working on it. It will pay off in the long run, no matter who your kids end up with.[/quote]

Feeling shame about your child's queer identity when you would not feel that shame for them being straight is homophobia.[/quote]
