no offense to the G/LB community, , but if your questioning@ Christine's parenting/opinion, and think its discrimination on your end,, ask your parents to explain to the Netizen why you become gay/lesbian ?? or explain yourself y u became a gay/or a lesbians,, there is no one born G or LB, nor it's hereditary ,,, if you know your Biology,, there is only Xx (boy) and Xy (girl) chromosome in your genes, additional x or y chromosomes means you have a down syndrome..you don't know how much a disappointment and hurt to parents this kind of things , even if your parents/family says they love you,, they will never say that they were disappointed to hurt their kids feelings nor admit that they made some mistakes..
