Hello! I've signed up here before, under the same username, but lost my account due to technical issues in early November. I've finally found the site again and re-registered. I'm here because of my twin daughters, who are sixteen, and as I said before, I found this site on their laptop by accident, and normally I wouldn't snoop, but since their identity is such an important issue I felt as though I couldn't not. Anyway, thank you to everyone who gave me advice beforehand. I've been doing research into as many aspects of the LGBT+ Community as possible, and I'm hopefully well-informed by now. My next step is to make sure my daughters both know that I accept, love and support them no matter what, and so does their father (although I haven't told him about this yet, as he's a little blunt. But I know he'll support them!) But I'm not going to pressure them or blurt it out. I want them to come out in their own time. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello again, now I'm back. :smilewave
Hi! I just wanted to say that I think it's amazing what you're doing for your daughters. As someone who has recently come out to my parents and is still questioning my sexuality, I can say that it meant the world to me to have accepting well-informed parents to support me. If you have any questions do feel free to ask me at any time. Nice to meet you, and best of luck with your daughters!
wow I think its very cool that you want to support them but tbh if I found out my mum had found this forum on my computer I would die, more if I were 16 so careful how you handle that!
Thank you! Nice to meet you, too ---------- Post added 7th Dec 2015 at 06:59 PM ---------- I thought of that, but I'm trying my best to be careful.
Hi It's great to see someone being a good parent. I'm sure you have contacted a support group for parents of LGBT kids. The only thing that I can add is to use gender neutral terms when talking about relationships with them. A lot of the people here would like to have you as a mum.
