OK.  No experience here with parenting a bi kid.  I will say as a young teen I went to sleepovers with girls and one of the girls ended up being bi (which was confirmed later).  There was never any pressure for me to do anything and to my knowledge no one ever engaged in bi sexual activity although I will say, knowing what I know now, and looking back on things the "option was openly on the table".   This was a long time ago and things are different now.  Kids seem to push the boundaries more.  My first thought when I saw this post was do the other parent's know but mine didn't.  If I thought there would be sexual interaction then absolutely not but if it was just a bunch of girls and some happened to be bi, ehh..., you know your kid and their friends best.  I do think there is a parental obligation here to set the rules, and a responsibility on your daughter to know and respect boundaries.  I would be really pissed if my straight daughter (or son) went to a sleepover unknowingly and was subjected to bi sexual peer pressure.  [/quote]

Let's transfer that thought to the locker room. There will be gay and bi kids in the locker room with your straight kids. Guaranteed. Should the parents of those gay and bi kids have to disclose to the parents of the straight kids?

The issue here is not -- gay and bi kids, the horror! The issue is inappropriate sexual behavior. There shouldn't be inappropriate sexual behavior, by any kids (or adults), of any sexual orientation, in any setting.[/quote]
