[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 660427, member: 1550"] I wrote my answer in your other thread. Is it possible she sees you as anti-gay? That she is really in a relationship with a girlfriend, not a boyfriend and that she thinks you don't approve? That you have made her think it's bad to have a relationship with somebody of the same sex? I get the feeling that you don't really approve of it and she may too. That could be the cause of the rift. Sounds like this is part of her identity and it is very important to her (or s he would not have gone to a PRIDE parade). She may need you accept her 100% as she is. I would not talk to her about sinning. She isn't sinning to many of us and I'm sure she would be deeply hurt and offended if you used that word to explain homosexuality. Sometimes we have to put our own beliefs aside to love our children. For them and us. I suspect that you consider it a sin and that she needs to ask forgiveness is not how she feels at all. I don't believe that way either. Heck, and I never experimented and am 100% straight. Still, I think gays are perfectly normal people who were born with differing sexuality. If you feel otherwise, and talk about it, then perhaps you need to alter how to think about it or how you talk to HER about it. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
