Dear Abby: Should my child keep the bedroom door open when her partner comes over?

DEAR ABBY: My 18 year old stepdaughter has decided to date another woman. She’s dated guys in the past, but that’s not the problem. We have nothing against the LGBTQ community. (My husband’s brother is gay.) My problem is: should my stepdaughter spend time with her girlfriend in her bedroom with the door closed?

If this were a boy, my husband would definitely have a problem with it: fear of sexual activity leading to pregnancy. We are both old fashioned about that, but have embraced her new relationship. But we definitely don’t want our house to be the connection point. It makes us uncomfortable. How should we approach this? — OPEN DOOR IN PENNSYLVANIA

BEST OPEN DOOR: Treat this the same way you would if you were writing about the young woman who has a boyfriend.

Tell her that you are not comfortable with sexual activities in your home and prefer that if she entertains her girlfriend in her bedroom, she should leave the door open.
