our own individual journey. Having raised two Daughters I can understand your Mothers reaction to you telling her that you were a lesbian. Of course me having an understanding of being gay helped me not judging my Daughters and teaching them that all people should be respected for who they are. Both my wife and I suspected our youngest Daughter could be gay. She showed signs early on with her appearance and actions that she could be. We of course didn't encourage her nor discouraged her... just allowing her to make her own choice. She had her share of boyfriends and never did embrace the lesbian side of herself.... but as an adult she has a "best" friend that really could develop into a more serious relationship someday. They love each other dearly and I even expressed my feelings to her last fall that if she ever decided to pursue that relationship I would totally support it. Anyway... thanks for your comment

Peace
