[quote=Anonymous]I commend you for being open to the idea your child may be gay. (I say "may" be gay, because there is a spectrum of sexuality and it is more acceptable in some circles for teens to experiment). There is such a high risk for depression and even suicide among kids who's families don't accept homosexuality so better to let your DD know you hope she will make healthy choices regardless of who she dates when she is older. That said, I would be freaked out-boy or girl. I know kids pair off and date even earlier than that. I would just need to sit down and find out how DD defines "dating" and talk about boundaries. Now that you know the other mom is against it, I wouldn't frame it as anti-gap, but simply many parents don't want their children getting physically intimate until they have the maturity to deal with the ups and downs of romantic relationships.[/quote]
