    They claimed they loved their daughter but also said a same-sex relationship was “not allowed” in their home. Not while she was under their roof. They punished her for lying to them and forbid her from seeing her girlfriend.

    That doesn’t add up. Either you love your child and want to see it happy or you don’t.

      Or was it because they did not want to condone their daughter having a sexual relationship with a friend who was living at their home?

      I could see them just as opposed to their 16-year-old daughter having her boyfriend move into her home and bed.

      Do parents get to have at least that much control over what is acceptable under their roof?

      This article could have been written with this kind of perspective, but that wouldn’t provide nearly the same level of outrage.

        Yeah I hated how it was just glossed over that she basically moved her girlfriend into their house for SIX MONTHS! This is definitely a story where every participant seems to suck, literally everyone is taking the worst choices.
