Lying to a family member or to a family member of your romantic partner is a shit behavior. It's rarely justifiable.
If a teenager does not trust their parents with information about their sexuality and sexual health, that is because the parents have set precedent after precedent over the last N-teen years demonstrating that they cannot be trusted with such information.
If LW's daughter's girlfriend could trust her mom to not [legitimate concerns] upon hearing, "I have a girlfriend and we are having sex," she would have told her already. Just as LW's daughter told her "I have a girlfriend and we are having sex."
If a parent cannot be trusted with information about their child's sexuality and sexual health, that is an extremely good reason to put that parent on an information diet. And for the parents of the child's partner to protect them where their own parents fail to do so.
I feel pretty comfortable saying that the reasons any individual may choose to conceal or bend the factual account of a state of being or event, ongoing or concluded, is complicated.

And all that is leaving aside the extremely myopic take you have on lying in general ("I feel pretty comfortable saying that lying is wrong.").
