I know from my own experience God can take a woman from lesbian-identified to transformed woman reflecting the female image-bearing status He created her to live. I live a wonderful life now, dedicated to God and to proclaiming the hope of freedom from the lies of lesbian-identification. Please check out my website for more information. God bless.

I think age might have something to do with the level or degree of how outgoing she is with her sexuality. She probably has a lot of built up anger (i know i did) and wants to rebel and be vocal about it rather than hide it. I give her a lot of credit for coming out when she did. I think more and more people will come out at a younger age. When I was in high school (graduated in 1999), homosexuality still wasn't talked about. Now it's being addressed, and people are realizing it sooner. The older and more mature she gets - and the more comfortable you both get with her sexuality - the better it will be. I'm gay - but it's such a small part of my life. There is so much more to me. My parents enjoy spending time with me - not their gay daughter. Best of luck to you and your daughter. You don't have to understand it to be supportive of her. I’m 26 – and didn’t come out to myself, or my family until college.

I believe your beautiful child is pleasing to God. God made us in his image. I am a Born Again Christian and I am so ashamed at the comments some Christians have toward homosexuality. I am a wife with a husband and two wonderful children( 5yr old and a 18 month old). God has blessed me with a few uncles, cousins and friends who are gay. I pray your daughter finds a woman who loves her and supports her. There is a good story on gaychurch.com. I believe it is under spotlight, it is called "A letter to Louise". It is long but definitely worth the read for your family. I pray that your family feels the comfort only Jesus can give. God Bless you and I am praying for you and all the families like yours. Love, Susan Dear Maryann,
