I too am a lesbian but it doesn't define me, I am so much more, a partner , a mom, a granddaughter, sister etc. Tohelpafriend, it sounds like your relationship with your daughter was ruined by one small aspect of who she is. I'm sad for you and her because you never get that time back. Studies don't mean anything as we are all different, I know late inlife lesbians ( formerly married to men ) and lesbians who have never had sex with men who had great moms and dads , great childhoods etc.believe what you will choice or not it is what it is and ones reality or feelings are valid to them. Take out the parades and flags and we all just want to live our life, raise families , be in a loving and mutually respected relationship and be well adjusted just as much as our heterosexual counterparts. Wishing that all people find joy and love in this world.
