just be supportive - what else can you really do?

Make sure she understands that she's still the same person & your love for her hasn't changed.
Assuming she's over 18, then I'd ask with a smile if she needed any advice about safe-sex, by way of an ice breaker, but also to let her know she can keep coming to you as she finds her own way through life.
She is not abnormal or bad.
I certainly didn't need to have sex with a woman to know I was heterasexual, when I hit puberty I only had eyes for one gender.
Homosexual (13% accross all cultures) & (bisexual ?%) are part of the normal human condition and not unusual.
Sexual preference does not change throughout our life time & is not inherited (You did not cause it).
Bisexual people are no more likely to be promiscuous than anyone else, so she is still most likely to settle down with one partner who she loves when that is right for her.

Your daughter may be more confused than you are. She cannot change her orientation and you will not be able to changer her either. The best thing to do is let her know that you love her unconditionally and let her figure things out for herself. It's wonderful that she trusts you enough to admit to feeling bi-sexual - so many children hide that from their parents in fear of being rejected. If she ends up figuring out that she is bi or lesbian, there is a group called PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) that can help you adjust and accept her lifestyle choice.

Sometimes people aren't really sure of their whole identity. Just love her as before. You wouldn't consider her sex life otherwise would you? It's her life, she has the right to live it her way, right or wrong. My daughter told me hundreds of times that she would never have baby, now after 5 years of marriage - guess what she's talking about? Kids, they change with the wind. Just go with the flow, and love her as before. Don't be confused, get educated, research bi-sexuality to understand what it all about.

she said [bi] so why would you be confused about her hanging out with her ex? as far as her never being with a women she must just know she is bi by her way of thinking. she may also be confused. except her for being her self and try not to focus on this. remember she is the one making her own choices. don't dwell on it. if she needs to talk about it she will let you know.

Just be there for her and be supportive. Ask if she wants to talk about how she feels and take it from there. If you have a problem understanding her alleged sexuality, then seek out some on-line support groups and get educated.

be glad she felt comfortable enough to tell you. most would hide it , be afraid to tell. must be a very special and loving relationship you have with her, i envy you. it doesnt change the relationship between you, her sexual preferences dont change who she is. as a mum i would be happy knowing she was happy and in a good relationship and not an abusive one. as for being confused - well that comes along with the birth of each kid. kind of a constant companion.

She sounds like she is very confused herself. How can you be bi-sexual, if you haven't had any relationship with another woman?

just except it, understand that it takes alot to tell your parent somethin like that, if you love her you'll support her and treat her the same as you always have, dont let her sexual orientation change how you feel, or deal with her. basically preten as if she never told you. its not a big deal

Wow.....that's a big one. Are you a believer, and is she? If not, maybe it's time to show her the story of Sadom and Gamora.
I have three daughters and it would be easier for me to hear one of them are gay then one of my boys????

Support her. Be there for her. Don't criticize or put her down. She is your daughter and that is all that counts!!!
