I would start by contacting the Catholic group Courage, which ministers to those Catholics suffering from same-sex attraction. They have a ministry for relatives of those with SSA called Encourage. They will probably be better equipped to help you than most of us here. You and your family are in my prayers.
Hello worriedmother!
You love her unconditionally but also make it clear you do not approve of her lifestyle. You also pray for her unceasingly
{{{hugs}}} and prayers of peace for you. What strikes me first is that she is still your daughter. She is still that innocent little girl you rocked to sleep and saw off to school on her first day. You still have all the same history and experiences with her. None of that has left you. Try to concentrate on that when you think of her. She is still the same girl she was the day before you knew her sexual preference (if this is indeed her path, it very well may be, like was mentioned, an experiment).
In your opinion but of course there is nothing to back up your opinion. Being this is a Catholic Forum your adivce is highly inapropriate.
That’s rubbish. There is anecdotal evidence that suggest women can kid themselves into being lesbian due to a bad experience with or mistrust of men. Maybe this girl has had a bad experience with someone which makes her feel her own gender will be a ‘safer option’.
I have many friends who are gay who all claim that they were born that way. Please support your point now.
Ancedotal evidence proves nothing. If I retort that i have many friends who are homosexual and they claim they do it soley by choice would you accept that as a valid argument?
Oh really, the only parts of the bible which condemn homosexuality are in Leviticus. Which Catholics do not really seem to follow. Last time I checked, Catholics had no problem with eating pork or shellfish, don’t celebrate Yom Kippur, and are allowed to shave their faces.
Please do not hijack this thread any further. Start a new thread if you want to tal about the Scriptural Basis for condeming homosexual behavior.
Where do you live with all these gay people? Homosexuals are in the minority despite what their campaigns may suggest.
I am not trying to hijack this thread. I am merely informing this mother that there is no problem with her daughter and that what her daughter is doing is perfectly natural and acceptable. You are the one who is contesting me and changing the direction of the thread.
I live in an area where people are accepting towards other people and gay people are open about what they are.Where do you live with all these gay people? Homosexuals are in the minority despite what their campaigns may suggest.
Think about it, if homosexuals were a majority the human race would die out.
Do you think it’s possible homophobia is a genetic trait induced to ensure survival of the species?I live in an area where people are accepting towards other people and gay people are open about what they are.
Think about it, if homophobes were the majority homosexuals would try to hide their sexuality from others.
