[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of those saying it's ok and have straight kids - do you let your kids have co-Ed slumber parties as long as they say they aren't romantically involved? At what age? I'd like to think I'm fairly progressive, but this seems a little nuts to me, whether the kids are gay or straight. [/quote]

I was one who said that it was okay and that the OP should talk to her daughter.

I would allow coed sleepovers. I don't know if the parents of teenage boys would allow them, though. It kind of breaks the social rules for kids. I would follow the same strategy of "friend or date" if my straight daughter invited a boy over or if my gay daughter invited a girl over. Frankly, I do not see what the big deal is. If people are concerned that straight girls will get pregnant, maybe they should have frank conversations about birth control with their daughters and help them get birth control. Pregnancy certainly doesn't require a sleepover. I know teenagers who got pregnant in the backs of cars, which I suppose is the direct result of their parents allowing them to drive.[/quote]
