Its not actually that surprising.
In the true sense of a "phobia", parents are often scared for children who come out as gay. Its really not the easiest of things for a young person to do (which is proof enough that its rarely a "lifestyle choice" - as no one would purposefully give themselves a tough furrow to plough); and Sally, like many mums, will instinctively say "no", or "not in my house" - in the hope that they can persuade their child out of it.
Its easier to accept a colleague or pal telling you, as you don't necessarily give it a passing thought - but when its your child then its, I would say, natural to worry about them being picked on, singled out or worse.
But Sally will come round, as most parents do; when it dawns on her that this isn't a passing phase, and ultimately she wants her child to be happy in her life - whatever sexuality she is.
