My daughter is a lesbian

I was devastated when I discovered that my 20-year-old daughter prefers to have sex with ladies rather with men. When I confronted her with the discovery, she confessed that it was the way she felt and has no control over the feeling. I need your help since this is my only daughter in whom I have high hopes.

Same sex issues are fast gaining prominence in our society with very grave consequences for traditional family values. As always, my suggestion in this kind of situation is that, rather than ostracise or shun your daughter for her sexual preference, you need to empathise and pray with her, keep on loving and communicating with her and hope for the best.
