** Let me preface this by saying that I asked her if it would be okay to be forthright to say this if and when I felt the urge to do so.. She gave me her permission. ..
**
**
** She came out to us in late 2002....I think we were more upset with the fact that she had been lying to us for months. She referred to her partner as just a friend. Her mother and I could both see the intensity she would exhibit when there was some disagreement between her and her partner...It went beyond the normal range for friendship. So, we knew she was jiving us before she admitted as much. Her mom was more emotionally invested in the son-in-aw followed by grandchildren dream than I was...That was a process she had to go through...My main problem was that I felt I had a pretty good read on her emotional capacity. I was emainly with whether she had the tough shell to withstand the shit would encounter from the straight world...
**
**
**But did we disown her or make any threats to do so? No. Did I tell her she would burn in hell if she didn't throw down her wicked ways as might be expected of the right-wing stereotype some paint me as being? Absolutely not.

**We were there for her all the way and she would eagerly confir that, There isn't a doubt in my mind.
**
**
**
** A lot of what we've encountered with relationships she's had are the same things we'd deal with had she not been hetero and not gay. We might not have liked a partner who was male any more than we liked her partner who was female The issues we had often were about control freakism, jealousy, personality clashes, , and so on...
**
**
**We're extremely proud of her. She has stayed true to herself all this time and did not flinch when she was confronted with the demands of those who looked upon her life less than favorably. She's a mighty gutsy one and it's hard not to admire that.
**
**
**
**She'll always be our brat and our door will always be open.

*Good for her and best wishes for her future happiness.....she'll be sure to have it with such a secure foundation....

Thanks.,, We're loony but we're loved. Every so often, our daughter will pop out a trademark Murrayism such as 'exfused'
...Of course that is when one is excited and confused at the same time
There are some who would contend that this is a constant state for me. I say 'Balderdash" and "Poppycock"... But only during Leap Year...
oh it just dawned on me that I did not mention an interesting fact. When our daughter revealed to us that she was gyt, the woman she was involved with was black. Not me being the rabid racist I am, no doubt I had a nervous breakdown over such a horrendous development.
Truth be told, I probably had more of a rapport with that partner than any of the four women she's been involved with since.
