[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are wise to control your emotions and what you say around your daughter.  As an older lesbian, to this day, everyone I know remembers in exquisite detail how their parents reacted when they came out and, where it was negative, it changed their relationships forever.  Also, my niece came out as bisexual a while ago and her mom was not supportive.  It is the single only time in my life that this particular niece called me.  It's a that big of a deal.

I think 12 is young, but some people know at that age.  And, I thing that sexuality can be fluid - but not everyone is open to that.  So, I guess what I'm saying is that it's hard to know what it means for the future when a 12 year old comes out.  [/quote]

Does anyone ever consider that parents are people too and are entitled to shock, sadness, etc? [/quote]

Actually no.  The only reason to be shocked, sad, etc., is if being gay is some sort of defect.  And, it isn't.  So, if they want to be shocked, sad, etc. and convey that to their  child, then they deserve the repercussions.  [/quote]

Sorry, I gave birth to a boy and if that boy tells me he’s really a girl, I’m going to be shocked and saddened.[/quote]

You...you do understand that we're talking about being gay and gay is not the same as transgender, right? Just checking, because you sound profoundly ignorant.[/quote]

No, to kids these days, they are interrelated.  To say otherwise is ignorant.  Not profoundly ignorant, just ordinarily ignorant.[/quote]
