My mom thinks im gay

You would think she would be happy that you were not making her a grandmother. Her thought processes don't make any sense. If you were gay, you would probably be hanging out with a lot girls and not guys. Do you have a father in the picture that could help you out? You need to confront your mother. With this information we are trying to help you about how best to approach your parents with what maybe regarded by them as news they may well find shocking. You must be prepared for the possibility that this shock may result in a reaction that you may feel to be rejection. Try to understand that this will hopefully become acceptance given time, so be patient and try not to give way to anger if your news results in what you feel are hurtful responses.

My 78 yr old mother is convinced every person who isn't partnered must be gay. My son dated girls in high school, but hasn't dated in a couple years for various reasons. She is absolutely convinced it is because he is gay, for some reason thinking he's hiding it like folks would in her day. Do you have a girlfriend yet? More KUOW: They Found Love During the Iraq War.

That said, there's a lot you can tell her about how being gay is not a choice, I could send you research to debunk a lot of the myths about gay people, and of course, the best way to convince her would be to bring a girlfriend home. The 1st person i told was my best mate, and she was cool with it, so i told more and more people resulting in my whole school year knowing, and no one has bullied me, broke me down or anything. i havent lost friends, in fact, i have been reunited with some friends that i havent spoken to in years. to them i am not their gay friend, i am just the same person to them.

Lately, she's been jokingly saying I should get a boyfriend, but I refuse because I'm aromantic. She's noticed her mistake on more then one occasion because she stops and says boyfriend, or she says "Boyfriend, not girlfriend" as in correcting her mistake.

Idk if this situation seems weird, but my mom thinks I'm gay even though I'm straight. i have no idea what led to this perception, maybe because I'm an active proponent for gay rights and have fought with her multiple times on these issues, or the fact that i have a male best friend (also straight) who i absolutely adore to have around me. At the age of 28, I finally decided that I needed to deal with this and owed myself the best shot at a happy life that I could find. I tried talking to my mom about this several months ago. I thought this was just initial shock and waited almost two months to bring it up again.
