[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. I guess what disappoints me is that I always imagined one day she would find a loving husband and would one day have a traditional family of her own. I looked forward to attending her wedding, and watching her marry her groom, and adding a son-in-law to the family (all my children are girls). I realize of course lesbian couples can marry and have children. [b]But I feel society still attaches some stigma to these family structures and doesn’t perceive then as fully “normal.” [/b]So as much as I want to be supportive - and I will fake it if I have to - the truth is, I’m feeling sad.

Where do you live?  In the DC area (at least the parts in which I've lived), this is absolutely not the case. [/quote]

As a lesbian the Op is right. Most people tolerate gay people but don’t really accept them. People still see 2 parent heterosexual families as the norm.

Just look at the way the black community is treated about “fatherless” homes.

It’s obvious people don’t support lesbians with the the way Americans talk about children “needing” fathers.[/quote]

Yeah, I mean, she'll have to pick her location thoughtfully. That's the one annoying thing (well, and safety when traveling), you can't just live in any old place. But, she has many more choices than we did in our 20s. Eastern Coast of Florida (in the aouther part), many places in MA, all West Coast large coastal cities, NYC, etc. In fact, in some West Coast cities it is truly so, so easy.[/quote]
