Please don’t fall for the Leftist slander that conservatives hate homosexuals. That notion is used by the Left as a way of avoiding honest debate about the issue. Most conservatives believe in “live and let live,” and
conservative Christians are called to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Speaking for myself, what I hate is the way our society is being brainwashed into believing that the disorder of same sex attraction is not a disorder at all, but rather just another flavor of normal. As a Catholic, I believe that there is nothing sinful in being attracted to somebody of the same sex and that acting upon homosexual urges is a very grave sin. But forcing people to accept a mental illness such as homosexuality as normal and healthy exceeds sinfulness. It is evil.
I doubt that you will get hammered around here for loving your daughter and believing that she was born the way she is. But if you do, we have your back.

Hey Jeff!
I was reading the responses from the woman whose daughter is day and ended up thinking the same thing that you so eloquently stated.
What also strikes me is that we have a hot-button issue that is discussed here using respectful tones, overwhelmingly, and kindness and decency. I can only imagine what the response would be like at the Daily Kos or Democrat Underground if there was an anguished posting about a child who is gay... I can imagine the vitriol, the swearing, the personal attacks.
Which, by the way, is both a strength and weakness. The same emotional crudeness which propels the left makes them berserkers in political battle, while we are thinking about the humanity of our opposition. It’s something I’ve seen ever since I became aware of the conservative-left split back in the Reagan years. Our decency makes us easy targets, and our moral virtue makes it tough for us to respond in kind to attacks.
God help us.
