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

She’s 7 man.

Freaking out (if you are) makes as much sense as people pushing pro trans ideas on a kid because he plays with dolls or she plays with trucks for a summer.

Young women are different. They can try out kissing friends etc and it’s “ok”. Less stigma. Boys? Nope. Gay is gay. The few gay people I ever knew well enough to ask always knew they were gay. From the point straight kids stopped thinking the opposite sex was “icky”, they became awkward and confused. Because they knew they felt different.


I wouldn’t worry that your daughter is being brainwashed into being a lesbian.

You can believe that she is being brainwashed that being gay is normal or a better word is common.

In the end it sounds like you answered her question as well as any of us could.

Sounds like your daughter gave you a concern that you should follow. You won’t “know” shite about her orientation until junior high. She won’t “know” that about herself until junior high.

My son went through a phase where he loved the movie Frozen. Also some My Little Pony cartoons. We quietly sat and observed. He grew out of it. Now he’s basketball kid and a typical 13 year old dufus. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous for about a year though.

I just believe if you push too hard you will become the dad that she can’t talk to. I want my son to know we can always talk. About how much better Jordan was that LeBron or about serious shite.
