[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell her she’s not gay, to stop being so silly and to knock that shit off, and that people generally don’t proclaim sexuality to others.

I would tell her to grow up, except she’s just 13 and going along with the crowd.[/quote]

OP this is terrible, terrible advice. This is the kind of attitude that contributes to higher suicide rates among LGBT kids, and it will do damage to your relationship with your daughter that will be hard to undo. [/quote]

No it isn’t. OP’s kid isn’t a lesbian; she is a dramatic teenage girl trying to fit in with a crowd.[/quote]

Stop read parlar.

Nobody is faking who they want to date to be in the crowd.

Yes 13 is a normal age to want to date, kiss, go together.[/quote]

While I don't support the advice of the original poster of this post, of course kids of this age in this time try to fit in by 'not limiting themselves to a box' and saying things like they're asexual and gender fluid. You run the risk of being shamed for being 'heteronormative' or whatever because you're supposed to be open to everything. [/quote]

Okay so it is theoretically possible that OP’s DD is just doing it to fit in, parents have no way of knowing that. And the odds of somebody being shamed for being heteronormative just by being straight are LOW. The odds of being shamed not being straight are way higher. Not all kids think being gay is cool, and most adults don’t think it’s cool at all. [/quote]
