Of course, mainly for two reasons:
1. Her being a lesbian is irrelevant. All that matters is if she's a good friend which, as I said, isn't affected by her sexuality.
2. I cannot control every aspect of my child's life. Beyond being unable to, I also have no desire to do so as I want to raise strong, independent children who can make decisions for themselves. My job as a parent isn't to control them entirely, I'm there to support them and help them grow, not stifle it or mould it into my idea of perfect. Unless a friendship is putting my child's safety and well-being at risk, then I shouldn't interfere. Since her being a lesbian is irrelevant, it's not putting my kid at risk, so I wouldn't attmpt to interfere.

Yes. Why the fuck not.
If she's a good person then they can be friends. Her being gay shouldn't change your mind cause then I wouldn't want my daughter to know you, if you thought like that
Yes, as long as she nicely said that she is not a lesbian to her friend. Then she’ll be good. But honestly, I don’t know if I’m going to have children.
Yes, because of the same reasons as fauchelevent. But I would also see the advantages with it though if a relationship happen:
1. Less likely for unwanted pregnancies and abortion.
2. Less likely for becoming a mother in a too young age.
3. Less likely to get STD, although lesbians also gets some. STD is more common when men are involved.
4. Less likely to have to deal with sweaty stinky boys. Boys in the puberty tends to smell worse than girls in my opinion.
5. She has someone to discuss her girl problems with.
6. I'm a conservative and believes certain things shouldn't happen before marriage because of less chance of stability, more likely for having children outside of marriage etc.
I have 4 daughters and 3 step daughters their mother my second wife was bi sexual they thought it was cool. in fact they had more questions about it . One big question was if I kiss my sister am i a lesbian. It's good question because girls are always kissing and cuddling and they get very close. From a male point of view I felt left out but we explained is your feelings for eachother. They are all married now and to men except eldist she has her cats. To honest it would not have mattered if they had gone to be lesbian I would still have loved them !!!

What? Why wouldn't I let them?
As life has proven, my daughter had always made decisions where I had no reason to even comment. Basically this comes from me being a conscious parent. I am tolerant towards homosexuality, although I would not push for it when it comes to (my) kids. But if she would have chosen so, it would have been for the correct reasons.
She has her own free will. If it’s purely casual friendship, she can choose whoever she wants. I admit I’d be a bit uncomfortable with it, but would trust in my daughter’s judgement. If her les friend started getting too close to her, I would simply implore my daughter to be cautious with her. Her friend would have to go way too far before I kicked her out the door. She can be friends with anyone who doesn’t start making her bi/les.
Depending on situation, if they were under the age of 13, i would be worried what impression the girl would have on my daughter, they will probably go to a Catholic school, so it might be something no one talks about anyway. But I worry about kids these days. I would quizz them regularly to find out what was happening in their lives
Two points:
My daughter will never seek my permission, rather lesbians or gays don't consult their parents about their preferences and sexuality.
No. 2. If my daughter has lesbo tendency and inclination, how will I know with certainty? Only doubt? And being a grown up, she is free to choose her friends with one condition that they are not drug addicted and criminal minded.I would be fine with it. I have no problems with her wanting to be friends with a lesbian or a gay guy. Now if it came down to a romantic relationship it would not be my preference and I would give her my view on it and leave it for her to decide, but I would probably let her do that too if it made her happy
Yes I would because love is love no matter what and just because one person is lesbian or whatever doesn't mean the other is. Either way I would support her no matter what.
Yes! im bisexual anyways, so i see absolutely no issue with it! Even if I were completely straight.. I wouldn't stop her from having gay or lesbian friends.
Of course! For the same reason I'd allow my daughter to be friends with a straight guy. Why would their sexuality make any difference whether they sexually harassed someone or not?
Of course. As long as she’s not friends with racists, homophobes, sexists, criminals or the like I’d be fine with whoever she’s friends with. It’s her choice anyway, not mine.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. Just like there is nothing wrong with a guy and a girl being friends.
Obviously. It’s like her being friends with a guy I wouldn’t care. Even tho I’m 17 as long as my kids are friends with good people it doesn’t matter.
First of all how I will know that the friend is lesbian.
And why should I stop her to e friend if it's only friendship than it doesn't matter to me but if something else than I have to think about ityeah, as long as she's a good friend to my daughter, i don't care about her sexuality.
Yeah but I would treat the friend like I’d treat a boy when it comes to sleep overs
I'm a female and I support LGBTQ+ and I have Lesbian friends
Yeah. I’m friends with a bi girl and it’s no big deal. I don’t see why my daughter shouldn’t.
Ofcoarse, I’m into girls i don’t see why i can’t have lady friends
Yes! Off course! Until and unless that girl don't try on my girl..
Y not coz with or without my permission she would become when she want.
