I've wondered before if Fate places gay children with homophobic parents precisely to show those parents just how wrong are in their beliefs. Not that it makes it any laugh riot for the child, of course, but it does seem to happen inordinately frequently.
And it still amazes me that people who believe that stuff just don't get that their beliefs make no sense. They're internally inconsistent with themselves. If it was true that we chose, then explain why we would have done such a thing, knowing that it results in being hated and ostracized. If we did choose it, it must have been for a reason, right? We must have seen something good in it, right? So what is that reason? And if we chose, did they choose too? When, exactly? When was the point that they were faced with that choice, and could have gone equally either way, but chose heterosexuality?
It just makes me want to bang their heads against the wall to get it through to them.
Anyway, I can't tell you how to handle your relationship with your mother. But I can tell you this.
You're right, she's wrong. You know that, right?

i have to say, i have thought the same thing multiple times regarding gay children and homophobic parents.
as far as my mother and my relationship, she is absolutely wrong and i know that. i just cant believe the hate and intolerance. i dont know where it comes from.
Anyway just wanted to thank everyone for a response. I am getting more and more comfortable with myself every day. i think its almost time to start coming out to some key people.
