re: My 7 y.o. daughter told me last night that it was okay for a girl to "like" another girl

In what "manner"?

It is indeed ok for girls to like other girls when they are 7, yes 7 years old. She wasn't talking about sexually. "Like" in her realm of experience, simply means a strong friendship. With girls, friendship is very strong and all of their lives they will hug and kiss other girls with NO sexuality behind it.
Some of you are over reacting.

No, she was referring to the relationship sense. The way this came up was me saying that a little girl in our neighborhood likes her (as a friend). My daughter reacted with "what do you mean by likes me?" I was surprised she would have thought anything else by what I said. We discussed what she was talking about and she told me that it was okay for a girl to like another girl in that manner (she was CLEARLY not taking as a friend).
