Why is my daughter a lesbian?

Your daughter likes girls. There's nothing that can change that. Just like how people are straight, they like what they like. There is nothing wrong with that.

There is no exact reason why. Some people think it's biological, others think it is a state of mind. Whichever case this might be, she is your daughter.

Because she was born like that, just like you may like a woman or a man, she decided that what she likes are woman and it's totally normal.

Your daughter was born that way! While it can be hard for parents to process that their child is gay, they are still your child and you should still love them, no matter what. Chances are they were scared to come out to you and it's important to show your love.

1) Gay people exist 2) Gay people are randomly distributed throughout the population. Nature / nurture aside, it is impossible to know before someone is born if they will be gay. 3) Your daughter is a random person throughout the human population. 4) Therefore there is some probability that she would be gay.

Your daughter is a lesbian because she is one. There is no rhyme or reason to it. It's just how she is. More importantly, what kind of person is she? If she is kind, caring, loving, friendly, warm, generous etc etc then those are the most important character traits as well as the ability to love and be loved. Your daughter is the same person you have always known, she is simply romantically and sexually attracted exclusively to other women. Embrace what she is and hold her to your heart. Cherish what you have because all expressions of love are beautiful x

She was born that way just like how you were born liking whatever gender you're into. There's nothing wrong with it.

Why are you straight? Do you have an answer? No, right? Just like that, there's no answer for why your daughter is a lesbian. Just like you were born "straight", she was born "lesbian". It is a natural phenomena and no one has control over it.

It is simply because that is who she is. It is not a choice and it just happens to be that she likes other girls. There is nothing wrong with it and is completely normal. The only thing you can do is to be supportive and continue to love her as that is all she'd want from you.

A lot of people have already given the straightforward answer "because she likes girls" or "because she was born that way". They're absolutely right. However, coming from a conservative background, I can understand why you might feel like you did something wrong or that your daughter may have been corrupted in some way. It's okay to feel that way, but you have to realize that these are base reactions (almost animalistic) because of the world you were raised to believe in. It's scary to realize that your daughter may become someone other than the little girl that you have always loved. The most important thing you can do is remember that she hasn't changed. She has always been this way. This is the exact same little girl who you have watched grow up. The same girl you held when she was small. The same girl you've bonded with in a way you never knew was possible. The same girl that has made you feel virtually every emotion in the book. She's still her. Who she loves doesn't change who she is. I hope you can see and accept that. I hope you can realize we can't control who we love. And I hope you can't control your overwhelming love for her even if you're still struggling to understand.
