[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many levels to this post.  I would say start by having conversations with your child where you affirm that you will love her always regardless of her orientation and then encourage her to talk to you about sex.  Maybe go to LGBTQ pride events or read supportive books or otherwise educate yourself while signaling to your child that if she is gay, you will support her.  Be sure to leave any non gay affirming organization you may belong to since of you associate with homophobic organizations, your child may  assume you are not safe to come out to.   If you child is gay, she will need your support.[b]  In your post the main missing part is that you are saying you think your child is gay but she has said nothing of the sort to you. You really need  your child to come to you to have conversations and get support so the main problem I see is that she has not done so. [/b] Sleepover regulations seem minor compared to the fact you think your child is gay and your child is not taking to you about this at all. If you fix this lack of communication/trust then what you need to do about sleepovers may be more clear.  For a starter, if she is gay this does not mean she will be attracted to all her female friends and be trying to have sex with them. That is simply not how attraction works.  If you had open communication with her then you and she could decide that she would not have a girl that she is attracted to who may become a romantic partner to sleep over in the same room just like you would not have a guy she was attested to sleep over in the same room. Communication and knowledge really are the foundation of then managing any questions that arise such as sleepover etiquette.[/quote]
