JustUs,
My daughter, who is a junior in college, came out to me last Christmas. She said that she is a lesbian and her roommate for the past year is her lover.
I must admit that even though I have always accepted homosexuality as part of the new world's order of things, I was not prepared for one of my children to be gay.
I raised them to love all God's children but to recognize GOD in our lives versus the god of this world. Ihave taught all I can and only pray that my children follow right and run from wrong decisions. But until then, they are still MY children to whom I love. I may not agree with the "sin" but I love the person, my child. So now that I am over the shock and disappointment, I have invited my daughter's roommate to visit us during the spring break.
My dilemma: Should I allow them to sleep together in my home? I would not allow my son (who is straight) to sleep with his girlfriend in my home.

Angel,
Everyone knows to respect the house rules! There should be no tolerance for nothing less. Your daughter is just going through a collegiate, experimental stage. Unless you missed it, she would have long ago showed you signs of this type commitment. You did right by accepting her as she say she is to avoid pushing her out on a limb to feel isolated to only that community as her comfort. I'm more than sure it's just a phase and your love will shorten the span. The Bible says we are to "Train up a child in the way that he/she should go so that when they get older they will not depart from it." The moral values you've instilled upon her (and all your children) is their foundation to whom they've become. Just be patient and watch.
