Single Lesbians? Are you out there?

[saraschoening]

I have a question for you wonderful ladies.. I have a 9 year old daughter who says that she hates boys and wants to marry a girl. She says she loves everything about girls and has been saying this for years. I have heard on TV shows that people know that they are gay their whole lives.. is this true? At first I thought that maybe she was just going through a stage but its going on 5 years now. I just want her to be happy.. boys or girls. I will support her no matter who she wants to date.. Or do you think that she is still way too young to know?

Some people know their whole lives, some people don't realize it until later. For me it was later; I came out around age 25, for some people it's much later in life. For your daughter, I'd say just go with the flow. If it's a phase, that's ok, and if it's not, that's ok too! Just don't make a big deal over it either way so she doesn't feel like there's anything to worry about, but be ready to support her completely if anyone tries to give her trouble for liking girls. Like you said, her happiness is the most important

Hi single ladies! *insert Beyonce song here*

My name is Nicole, I'm 22 and am getting ready to graduate college (holy crap!)... I am a Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies major, with a minor in Communications... I had a minor in Graphic Design but I couldn't finish it before graduating due to me studying abroad. (I studied abroad in New Zealand).

I'm Filipino and identify as queer, and I hope to be working in the non-profit sector when I graduate, hopefully in LGBT-centered or women-centered health organizations.

It's nice to meet you all!

Hello and welcome to all the new writings!
To answer about upcoming trips, there is alas no planned trip in my future (sad face) though me and my family are talking about maybe stopping by Disneyland Paris if we make it to Europe this summer, which I mean is totally the only reason to go to Paris right?

The bottom line is that I don't think that she is too young to know. I agree with the above poster, but also wanted to add some advice for you. Try not to label your daughter as anything in your head at this point, but believe in the way she feels. Those feelings are valid and real. That being said, a nine year old saying that she likes girls could mean a lot of things that may not involve adult-type attraction. Did some part of me know at age nine? Sure, but I also went through labeling myself in different ways and having different experiences before confidently calling myself a lesbian. The type of attraction I felt/feel as teenager/adult was/is very different from what I felt as a child. At different points in my life before the age of 16/17 I was "sure" about identifying with various sexualities that are not how I identify as an adult and I don't believe that to be uncommon. Assure your daughter that whatever she is now is valid/good and including the option of her staying exactly the same, whatever she will be in the future is completely valid/good. Sexuality can be fairly fluid over a person's lifetime and assuming that what a person, especially a child, says today dictates her forever can be damaging. Let her be free to explore her truth while providing unconditional support. It sounds like you love your daughter and that is all she really needs.

I did see the other "single" thread, but it seemed to comprised of all the single men on this board! hehe

So, I thought I would raise the question....am I the only single lesbian here?

This is relatively new title for me, as I was with the same woman for over 9 years, then dated a couple of other women in rapid succession immediately after she and I broke up.

no no no no i sure hope not!!!!!!

Single lesbian here. I wished I could attend Gay Days, but I live in New York. I have a (lesbian) friend who formerly worked at Disney and has participated and told me how amazing Gay Days has been.
