	I was 15 years of age; raised in Southern California, surfer, good student and lesbian from an early age. I told my Mom and she sort of did not know how to handle the realization that her daughter was the way she was. I had a wonderful aunt to sat my mother down and said, "Davi- knows who she is, you are the one who needs help, not Davi." I am 66 years of age,still a lesbian and quite content with my life. My family has no qualms accepting myself and friends. We are family!!!! Davi- –Oct 11, 2011 10:43:13 AM Respond to this comment
