Why is my daughter a lesbian?

She is a lesbian because she was born that way. She likes other girls the same way you like whoever you like. Just accept and love her no matter what.

Perhaps she has been influenced from the media/her friends/other sources. It could be that she lacks a male role model/any male person in her life which has lead her to automatically be attracted to girls.

There's no reason why she is a lesbian, people can't control their sexual orientations and attractions. If you asked someone why they are heterosexual they probably wouldn't know the answer. "I just am" is the usual response. That's probably how your child feels, all sexualities are natural and uncontrollable.

Because she was born that way? She is attracted to other girls. It must feel scary to think your daughter is a lesbian?

Why are you straight? The answer is that you were born that way. Your daughter is a lesbian for the same reason.

I think asking the question "why is my daughter a lesbian" could be quite offensive especially to teenagers and young adults. I am a lesbian and in my opinion do not see anything wrong with being able to express myself or let others know what my sexual orientation is at the present time. In my opinion when I told my foster parents I was a lesbian they weren't supportive until after they started reading some of the literature I left all around the house. In my honest opinion I did not choose to become a lesbian instead it was something that came upon me after a serious of events, which were traumatic. Please do not be critical or hurtful because your daughter just informed you that she is a lesbian. In my opinion there are far more worse things a child could tell you.

You're daughter is lesbian because she like females, you're daughter may also like horses or the color pink. You're daughter doesn't just decide to be a lesbian. She was born one.

Why do you breathe air? Why do you drink water? Why do you eat food? Why do you ask? Why does it matter? Because she is and she does, that's all you need.

There isn't a "why". Being lesbian isn't a choice. She's born like that, and as a parent that might be difficult to understand at the begining, but all you have to do is support her because she need love and compassion, especially from her parents.

Why are you straight? It's a preference. Like liking vanilla or chocolate. There's no reason, you just simply perfer one flavour over the other. Just accept and love her.
