What do you feel you have to justify? Being a lesbian or being an adult or both?
I think having a hard time seeing your child as a young adult and not your little girl is pretty normal for many parents. (Not that it still isn't frustrating for the young adult.) That will change as you display more and more maturity and independence I imagine.
Now as for them accepting their "little girl" as an adult lesbian that certainly would throw a hitch in it but I think the answer is still the same.
As you show maturity, independence, and most of all as they see you happy in your relationships they will likely come around. I think mostly what parents want is for their children to be happy.
