My daughter (I shall refer to her as 'Maya' in this forum) has always been a wonderful girl. Ever since her First Holy Communion, she has followed His law with such dedication that I admired her and was always proud.
Maya is now 21 and is living on her own. At least, that is what I had thought. A few days ago, she reveled to me that she had been in a romantic relationship with another woman ever since her Junior year in High School and that they have been living together all this time. There have even been signs that their relationship has become physical.
I do not know what to do. I have known, since my own childhood, that homosexuality is a sin! However, Maya is an adult now, and I have no say in most of her activities. I may discourage them, but my authority is now limited because she has left the house. I am afraid to speak to my own community for fear of them doing something horrible to her.
Please, what can I do? Even now Maya is still following His word. This relationship of hers is all that she has done to steer away from the teachings of the Bible. Is this sin, one she said was committed out of love, enough to damn her to Hell?
If so, what can I do to save my sweet girl from such a fate?
