I don't have an issue with lesbians or women who choose to express themselves sexually with other women. But i do object to seeing every deeply committed relationship between women as inherently lesbian. i don't think this story implies that. what it does imply more strongly is a bond of filial love as a daughter for her mother. read the WHOLE story.<ul></ul> the true and deep love of a younger woman for her mother figure does not have to be sexual in nature–not even if the younger woman is, say, as old as 30 (old enough to truly know herself). continue to read the story–ruth marries Boaz and their union eventually preserves the Messianic line.
