[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not a sleepover party where there is a group of girls in attendance.  You are talking about 2 girls.

The point is most people will not let their child have a sleepover with someone with whom there could be potential mutual attraction. I am not sure why the rules change b/c the child in question is gay.

Would I let my straight daughter have a sleep over with a boy, even if she said she wasn't attracted to him.  Nope!  Therefore how is it homophobic to say I would not let her have a sleep over with another lesbian, even if she wasn't attracted to her.

It has to be the same rules regardless of sexual orientation.  [/quote]

You are correct, sort of.  What you're missing is that just because your kid hasn't told you they're gay, it doesn't mean they're straight.  Your 14 yo son could be having circle jerk sleepovers with his buddies and you'd never know.  The difference here is when a kid comes out at a young age- should all sleepovers be off limits?

I'm not sure, tbh. [/quote]
