She's 10.
She says she doesn't like boys. That one day she will get a girlfriend. She says she has a crush on a girl in her class.
This has me hoping she will indeed be gay.
From my own experiences to those I read daily about young women being abused, coerced and degraded by their partners I fear so much for my daughter going through such things.
Women aren't perfect of course, being gay won't protect her from heartbreak and maybe some abuse at the hands of her partner but I daresay I would sleep better at night.
Is that terrible of me?
