It makes me really sad that that's Lynne's response. I think that indicates a certain degree of shame with the respect to her daughter's sexual preferences.

It's a shame it happened like this, but we have to respect it.

It is a shame that we couldn't win but, on the other hand, it doesn't change anything in respect to our chances of going through.

Perhaps this is why an institution is unlikely to feel or admit to shame; it may be unable to countenance the possibility that at root it is not what it purports, even to itself, to be. (quoted by Michael Barnett in Eyewitness to a Genocide: The United Nations and Rwanda)

God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame.
