My daughter is gay

And neither are you happy.

This was a social experiment.
I am actually a teenage lesbian and not a Christian. I have no problem with Christianity, I just wanted to see how people would respond to the scenario of a woman who loves her daughter.

Most of y'all have good points I guess I've never read the bible though. mj007 is a good person, woke Christian I support you.

Just seeing this.

You probably did not intend this to be a relief, but it is. Now I know that a Christian parent is not this helpless and seemingly unaware.

You could have been honest with us the whole time, you know. We would have still given you Biblical responses. My advice would be keep seeking God--because let's face it, you're here. You're seeking.

Equity

As a matter born purely of fairness and equity,
I now feel compelled to go forth and troll a lesbian forum.

I shall tell them how confused and unhappy I am,
and let them see if they can convert me to lesbianity.

Who knows...
maybe I'll be happier as a lesbian.



I wonder if I'll need to shave.

I'm going to pray for you and your family. I do not have a gay child, so I will not pretend to tell you how to respond. I have worked with trafficked children for years and homosexuality, gender identity issues, and general confusion are abundant with that population. It is not only trafficked children who run into this. Kids do not have to have a significant trauma/mental illness to find themselves questioning thier sexuality. It has become "trendy." That said, based on my traumatic childhood, I believe that the cause for all of the thoughts/confusion, is a spiritual one. I do believe homosexuality is wrong. In working with children who struggle with this, they have the world telling them that it is ok to be and do whatever they want. Heaven forbid, you have an opinion that is anything but accepting of this because you are then a bigot or a religious zealot. It's hard being a parent. All you can do is pray for her and with her. I have a small child. If she were to tell me she were gay someday, I hope that I would respond something like this.... "I love you. That will not change not matter what. I know you are struggling. Let's see what the Bible says about this (get the Bible and check out the scriptures pertaining to the subject). Homosexuality is wrong. The devil tries to trick us thinking somethings are acceptable when they are not. He confuses our thoughts and feelings." The other thing that comes to mind is how common place homosexuality is in today's society. There is a cartoon on TV where a child has two dad's. The media is constantly pushing this "anything goes" agenda so much so that even people who were brought up in the church are second guessing what they know to be true. I'm sure this is so hard for you. As a parent, we want our children to be happy and healthy in every way. We don't want to think of them being hurt in any way and we surely don't want them to go down the wrong path. Just be there for her (it sounds like you are doing well with that). Give her good spiritual advice. Read the Bible and educate her on the subject in a non-putative way. Have a discussion and don't be afraid to say that you don't know something and also don't be afraid to stand your ground. I'm going to pray for you both. Hang in there!

I'm probably singing with the choir...so very many responses... Premarital sex between heterosexual is as sinful as gay lifestyle. One preacher stated it biblically... Sodom and Gomorrah weren't condemned because of the lifestyle but the lack of reverence to the Lord. Barb Johnson? I believe that's her name...had a gay son... and wrote several books on the subject. At the end of one of her books...she wrote of an encounter with her son's partner who stated, "I'll bet you're praying I change aren't you?"
"No, I'm praying that you give your heart to the Lord and seek His salvation." As with an alcoholic family member or drug addict or food addict, prayer is the best weapon. Prayer and a solid relationship with the Lord.

Psalm 128
"1Blessed is every one that fears the LORD; that walks in his ways.
2For you shall eat the labor of your hands: (prayer) happy shall you be, (now and later as you believe the promises of God) and it shall be well with you. (because God's Word does not return void)
3Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: your children like olive plants round about your table.
4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the LORD.
5The LORD shall bless you out of Zion: and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6Yea, you shall see your children's children, and peace upon Israel.


Stand ye therefore on the promises of God and don't worry or fret...stay in prayer and maintain the strongest walk with God you've ever walked.

In my life, my son went to war...I feared for his life. The Holy SPirit, on two occasions, admonished strongly for me to stand firm on the promises of Psalm 91. My son and his entire company...every man that left that unit 18 months earlier...returned. Hence, the power of faith...the power of prayer and the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Prayers for you and your child - student

She has never had any emotional choices. She has never had any sort of self-esteem issues or socializing problems or anything like that. I brought this up in our talk and she said that nothing had happened, and that she hadn't changed a bit. She had never shown any sort of interest in men. She doesn't have anything wrong with her. I did an online urgent care chat with a doctor. She told me that it wasn't a choice, that that was how she was born, and that there is nothing wrong with her. She says that it was not a physical choice, but built into her mind, and that nothing had influenced it. I'm not sure I can believe all of this, and I do not know how my doctor stands as far as religion goes.

You do have mental health issues, part of that is believing an "online urgent care chat" doctor is capable of validating your lifestyle.

You responded to my post, because I called you on your lies and told you The Truth about yourself. You responded by telling more lies because this is your only defense.

Most of y'all have good points I guess I've never read the bible though. mj007 is a good person, woke Christian I support you.

mj007 rejects the Old Testament and is a sleeping/deceived Christian who accepts outside gnostic material as doctrine that undermines The Bible. Naturally, the two of you agreed with one another, because one supports the other's false beliefs. The deceived stick together.

And yet if you are firmly Old Testament version of God, you will totally agree in cutting down the enemy. Which is no different from Islamic terrorism, except you aren't acting on it (albeit just words?).


Or maybe I have not got to the point of the Old Testament yet. Maybe you are going to tell me that in contrast to the New Testament, these were devil worshippers? Because if you say it is all God, well tell me why the God of the OT and NT are different?? Can you explain that?

My God, is a God of Love. I don't know what yours is.

Yes there was a lot of rubbish I read. It wasn't all written by one person, just as the Bible wasn't all written by one person. Most often contradicting stories, not unlike the Bible.

Their view of God was interesting. God being The All, kind of like the container, ineffable, unidentifiable. I can understand why they might say the God of the OT was an archangel. Doesn't sound like the God I know either.

Does your God send evil spirits to torment people? Does your God give children tumours?

It's almost like, God is Love, God is Evil, depending on which side you take. But since Jesus was more about love, people who follow the old God and not love, are not truly Christian.

I started my post earlier and did not get a chance to post until later today, so I see this was a fictional situation. I'm not mad. This in no way is meant with any condescending connotation. I am going to pray for you like I pray for my friends/family and clients. The way I see it, we can either help each other or hurt each other. I'm no where near sin-free. I've done things in my life I am not proud of, so who am I to get mad, hold resentment, and make someone feel bad. That being said, I stand by my convictions. Simply because I stand firmly by them, it does not mean I'm judgemental. I belive in tellinf the truth. I am all about having conversations and hashing things out without being disrespectful, hurtful or ugly. God has shown me such grace repeatedly through my lifetime. I think as Christians we should try our best to do the same for others. Christians can either bring people in, or keep people out. Im glad God showed me the mercy to come back. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers young lady.

My daughter is 15 years old. She has always been a nice girl and attended church with the family and seems to be of good christian faith. Recently, however, I noticed her spending a lot of time on tumblr.com, which I found out has a thriving gay community. This irked me, but it also does not mean that she was gay.

The other day she came up and told me that she was a homosexual and that she was dating a girl. She was very calm about it. I didn't know what to do. She hadn't shown any change in personality, she had still been going to church with us every Sunday, actively praying, and all the other regular practices. I don't understand what to do. I haven't talked to her about it much yet. She says she knows that it isn't right and that she will not be accepted by our church community.

Yesterday, she left her phone on. I wouldn't usually read through her texts because I know that's intrusive, but I saw a message from the girl, Kailee, who she claims to be her partner. She was sending a message about how much she meant to her. I scrolled back a bit and saw they were sending the most loving messages that looked as strong as the love between a woman and a man. I thought to myself, Is this really a sin? She seems so happy!

I love my daughter very dearly. It is clear that she is happy. I want her to be happy. But this is still a sin, what do you say I should do? I still need to have a big talk with her, I am just at a loss on what to say and I could really use some advice, thanks!

I've been where you're at. The only thing you can do is pray and trust God that He knows what to do.Your job as her mom is to love her. It's important that she doesn't lose your love or feel that you love her less. It's wonderful that you have raised her knowing who God is...and that He is a priority in her life. Leave the rest to Him.
