Look, I was once a teen. I know what it is like at that age to have desire for the opposite sex. And yes, I and her mother have given her a talk on that. She is also a very smart young lady who makes good decisions.
However, there are issues, such as teenage pregnancy, etc.

How are YOU going to protect her from pregnancy? She needs to protect herself from unwanted pregnancy. I fail to see how you being a teen means she requires protection.

Huh? It's the natural reaction of most parents to want to protect their child from all types of potential issues. Even when they can't really control the outcome, they still want to protect them from harm.
I used to be addicted to acohol and gambling. Admitting I'm in the wrong something is I have experience with.
But thank you.
I appreciate that you became open-minded and admitted to others that you were being judgmental. I have known some who have also been "in recovery", which is a positive thing and sounds like that has been the case for you.
For those questioning your sense of protectiveness, you have a right to feel that way, as parents will. I am sure it is a difficult position to be in and being a male, you know how they are. Typically, fathers tend to be wary.
I recall my parents saying, in regards to race, that they wouldn't care who we might choose to date, but how there would otherwise be such societal pressure, which was worse then.

I'm just going to paste this response to your post from "CharlyGal."

I think we all appreciate the honesty and sincerity. I think society needs more cultural and racial mixing, and not less. I'll admit to some hypocrisy since I think if a Jewish child is in a mixed religion marriage the intended should convert to Judaism. But that's because we're demographically endangered.
But are you paying for the wedding? I dated a girl for one year whose sister was with a black man. They had two kids together and then he kinda disappeared showing up on holidays etc.
Anyhow since the girl I dated lived at home, and so did the sister and the two kids sometimes she would be stuck baby sitting. They were cute kids, 2 and 4. But when myself, who was 20 at the time and my girlfriend who was 19 at time were strolling around with a black 2 year old and a black 4 year old in a double baby carriage man did we get looks. The sister named the kids after the baby daddy so different last name. I was always wondering if we ever lost them or I had to take them to emergency room what would happen.
But man did we get looks. Maybe part of reason was my GF was really white looking, five foot nine, 120 pounds, long blonde hair, very beautiful, and she is pushing two black kids around at least once or twice a week. This is way before it was in style. At one point she babysat the asian neighbors kid and we took all three with us to icecream. Folks were giving me look like I was kidnapping them all.
