My daughter, A, who is heterosexual, went to a gay/lesbian event last Saturday with her best friend, B, who is lesbian. B recently broke up with her partner. The partner has been jealous of the relationship between my daughter and B since they first met. She always introduces my daughter as "A, she's straight." She appeared to go out of her way introducing A to as many people as she could at this event Saturday. My daughter is very upset.

Is this a cultural thing we need to be aware of? My friendships have always been diverse. I've never been introduced this way in any gathering. For example, at a Catholic christening, I wasn't introduced as, "This is my friend, she's Methodist."

Do you have a web site with the information so that I can research?

Many young people post inappropriate information on myspace. They become targets for pedophiles. Do you have suggestions on how to protect them?

I received an e-mail telling me to choose a "best answer" to my question. The answers I received did not provide additional information therefore not answering the question. The e-mail message stated that "they" would pick a best answer for me. Why is it necessary for me to select the best answer if there isn't one?
