Your daughter just told you she was gay What can you do to help Her change and understand that homosexuality is a mental illness so you can get Her help?
You can't help her change. Homosexuality isn't a mental illness. I'm not aware of any psychiatric institution that says that being gay is a mental disease. Some people are born gay, some are born straight. It really doesn't matter. Although being gay isn't a mental illness, mental diseases can be caused by parents rejecting their child in any way and for any reason, particularly sexuality. Love your daughter and accept her as the person she is; love is the greatest gift you can give. Ask her questions about anything you don't understand about her sexuality. Be open and willing to accept what she says as true instead of clinging to preconceptions you have been taught. Live and let live, love and let love.
