I’ve tackled this one from the kid point of view, but parents need some encouragement, too, it seems.

Note: purely my opinions, yadda yadda.

Always remember, your kid’s sexuality is none of your business. Sure, when they are courting crime, imminent pregnancy or have porn debt collectors calling, you might assume this business has become your business, but only up to a point. This is still their rodeo and you may be only a spectator. You are not running the show.

When their choices are making you uncomfortable, try to keep in mind that it’s not their choices’ fault. You are uncomfortable because you want something for them that is not what they want. Your preferences are at odds, but it’s okay — your preferences about their preferences are for you to debate with yourself. That’s really the only constructive approach to this particular disagreement.

Again, I am assuming none…
