[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Just want to thank everyone who has commented on this thread. I am honestly trying to do right by my daughter, and really appreciate the advice. It’s also hard because this isn’t an issue every parent faces, so I don’t feel like I can turn to friends for support - none of them have dealt with this issue, as far as I know. [/quote]

You'd be surprised. After I came out and my parents got comfortable talking about it with friends and acquaintances (you know, even just mentioning my partner and I and something we were doing without dodging names or pronouns) they were so shocked at how many of their friends had a gay or queer kid, or sibling or niece/nephew. For a while they would call to tell me these stories. It was kind of cute. Then one day I was just like..you guys, of course! Who do you think I'm out there dating?! There are many, many others and they're part of families just like me. We had a good laugh. I bet you have quite a number of friends with a gay relative, including their kids. It's just that, like you, they don't talk about it for whatever reason...probably fear of rejection from their peers.[/quote]
