Sure there are many aspects of who you are. Its OK to post that you are Christian, or an athlete, or an immigrant, or . . . gay or bi. Your attitude just perpetuates the idea that this is a shameful thing.

So if your tween Instagrammed something about how hott Taylor Swift is, you'd be equally upset regardless of whether your tween is male or female?

Somehow... I doubt that.


...and you would be wrong. However, I didn't get the impression that is what OP's child did on Instagram.

Her orientation is not the same thing as sexual information. Its who she is, not what she does.
