Hey, go SpaceCase! Just wanna tell you I've got total symapthy with your position; my girlfriend's dad is christian and every time she tries to talk to him about our relationship or her sexuality he flips and goes at her about how wrong it is, which puts a strain on both of us. Stick to your guns and don't let people try and repress what you are. Best of luck.

your orientation is who YOU are, not who anyone else wants it to be. it may be upsetting but you'll have to put up with it untill she accepts who you are.

If you are not a Christian your lifestyle choice is none of their business. Christians cannot meet the standards of the Bible, it is immoral to try to force non-Christians to that standard.

If you ARE a Christian then your lifestyle choice is between you and God, and none of their business, either.

F'em. They do not care about you as a person, only about how they will look on Sunday Morning.

I am a Christian myself, BTW.

Then she has less than even zero justification for bitching about your orientation. Just try an be your own person.

Since the thread isn't dying...

My quip for this one is.

"Hmm. Interesting. I don't care that you don't understand."

(Standard disclaimer of that you shouldn't necessarily say this ^_^)

Tonight I had a fight with my mom about my orientation. She overheard me on the phone talking to my best friend about my new love interest(who,OF COURSE,is a girl).

She said,"I just DON'T understand how someone can love a member of their own sex!"

I said,"Why don't you stop b!tching about it and go find out?"

She started screaming at me and sh!t.The last thing she said was,"Why would ANYONE want to be gay?"

God,I swear I hate that woman with a passion.I,for one thing,didn't choose to be gay and nor do I WANT to be gay.I just want to be with the one I love.

haven't read all the pages yet...

but i know how it sucks to have an un-understanding-yet-opinionated mom...

all i can say is it gets better after you move out. so maybe try not to tell her to stop bitching... eye rolling is ok... things will smooth over as you get older. your'e almost there! just try not so say things that will be hard to get over... cause you know you have the highground on this topic...

at sometime, it will sink in for her and she will figure she'll have to accept it or not (aka-lose you)

least it's in her consciousness...

i'm all for a social reform, personally... send all kids off to some kind of campus (boarding school style) where they can come home on the weekends if they want and such but don't have to stay with parents. that way, they can focus all their adolescent angst against some kind of authority figure instead of parents... think this would be good for both sides of the family.
