Oh, actually A is the parent and not the gay daughter. Sorry, I know it was worded in a way that made it confusing. I am sorry if I came off sounding like I was second guessing her sexuality. I'm not. I'll take her word on it because really who knows better than her? And quite frankly, I don't care if she (A's daughter) is attracted to men, women, transgendered people, or bi-gendered people or any combo. It really doesn't bother me. I don't think A's daughter is gay because of her family either. I think she's just gay. It happens. That was A's concern, not mine. What I was wondering about was what happened to A. A seemed to think that when A's young cousins touched A sexually it was normal and common, even if it was unwanted, but I was wondering if A was right or is it an indication of problems in A's family? I've never had children. I don't really know what's normal behavior for kids, but the thought of my kids messing around with their cousins makes me ill. So basically I was just wondering if other people thought it was normal and expected of kids or if it might be a sign of problems in A's family. Anyways, that organization sounds like a good idea. I think you are prob. talking about PFLAG. I'll suggest it to A, but A is pretty much opposed to accepting their daughter as gay anyways, so I dunno if A will even attend a meeting or contact the group. I don't guess it would hurt to suggest it to A though. Thanks for the reply.
