I can't accept my daughter's homosexuality
Email sent to us by Chiara, Lavinia Capogna replies
A mother writes to us because "I can't accept the homosexuality of my daughter, and I have been trying for 3 years, she has 22", in her words all the difficulty of understanding, accepting and understanding this situation.
Lavinia replies, a volunteer of the Gionata project, because "when you need help you have to ask and receive help".
I can't accept the homosexuality of my daughter, and I have been trying for 3 years, she has 22. She has worsened so much, late to take a stupid graduation such as history, mind, she only loves Slash, Yaoy, piercings, role -playing games, I would never want my daughter: I don't have the slightest esteem for her who is a sad dark and maneuvered figure, My daughter had guys.
I am divorced, so I can only decide what to do alone, I would like an address, a name to turn to me. Thanks for the possible answer.

The answer…
Dear Chiara, I allow myself to give you of you because from the age of your daughter I think you are younger than me or that we are more or less the same age. My name is Lavinia and I am 46 years old.
You did well to write to Gionata.org because when you need help you have to ask and receive help. I, dear Chiara, can only answer you with an open heart.
I understand your problem and I would like to tell you that considering it a problem there are dramatic tragedies and human conditions and that your problem can, thank God, solve. Homosexuality is not a choice.
Staying in the women's field a lesbian is a woman who does not choose who to fall in love, who she likes. Sentimental love is a gift from God. There are people, like me, who for a rare disabling disease must give up.
Your daughter is fine, she is only 22 years old and is in love. If she fell in love with a girl it was not a choice, much less a spite of you. Love chooses us and we are not the ones who choose love.
It arrives like a ray of sunshine in the morning or a thunderstorm that catches us unprepared. He is a harbinger of happiness, of hopes, of trepidation, can give joy. But there is an even greater love: the love of a mother for her daughter (or son) and the love of a daughter (or a child) for the mother.
Chiara tu scrivi che non vorresti che tua figlia fosse tua figlia ma io penso che queste parole nascano dalla rabbia e dalla delusione ma non dalla tua anima. Lei ha deluso involontariamente le tue aspettative,studia poco, segue le mode,”prima andava con dei ragazzi”, tu scrivi, e ora ha una ragazza.
Ma quale figlia desideravi:una studentessa modello? Una fanciulla affascinante come Grace Kelly alla sua età? Una ragazza etero ammirata e corteggiata?
Ma forse tua figlia che studia poco, mente e segue le mode ha un problema:una madre che non la riesce ad accettare e questo le genera disagio. Se ci pensi seguire le mode o essere bugiarda non sono lati di carattere tanto gravi. Perché usi la frase “prima andava con i ragazzi” come se fosse un merito e perché poni l’accento sulla sessualità?
La sessualità fra donne non è quella dei film scandalistici ma un atto di tenerezza che ha il vantaggio di possibilità molto esigue di contrarre malattie, tra cui l’Aids, e questa è una buona notizia.
Chiara ti consiglierei tre cose:
– rivolgiti all’Agedo, l’associazione genitori di omosessuali, di cui troverai tutti gli indirizzi nel suo sito.
– rivolgiti ad una brava psicoterapeuta che aiuti te e tua figlia a risolvere e superare questo conflitto.
– Infine pensa più a te stessa, a ciò che ti piace, sei divorziata e ancora giovane e puoi incontrare l’uomo giusto per te e se sei credente confida nell’Amore di Dio.
Se vuoi facci sapere come va, tra qualche tempo. Un caro saluto.
Lavinia
