lots of parents do unfortunately.
that must be awful
i hope everything works out with you

i think your reaction is normal
see a therapist

In this society, it is normal. Doesn't mean it is right though. I'm sorry for your predicament.

what is so bad to be like that? i mean it is human nature you shouldnt care what your parent say do what you feel.

What happened to UNCONDITIONAL LOVE?????

Sounds like your mum neeeds to grow up and remember that you are still her child. Don't worry as long as you and your girl friend are happy that is all that you need

dam thats my girls parents(mom,and step pop)......started out as the in laws from u know where...they r very judgmental christian type people... have to say though we have been together 3 1/2 years and they barley r coming around and its been a long way coming she had to move in with me the 1st week we got 2gether.....we didnt even knw eachothr...i knw for her it will prolly always be that 2nd best love....frm her parents an 4 me i will never be good enough 4 her....but we love eachothr very much an dnt care anymore what ppl think....make yourself happy 1st...then every1 else

your parents are narrow-minded assholes. ditch them when you go to college ... or get emancipated and just get it over with now.

It's normal espically if your parents are christian.I don't think homosexuality is right, but, I agree with allowing people to choose.

What world do you live in where parents would be blase about their kid's homosexuality, it is quite normal that they don't accept it. I am not passing judgement here, but you need to put yourself in their shoes and see that when you were born, like most parents they probably had your life mapped out, moreso if they are religious.
That said, your parents are supposed to love you unconditionally and i'm sure they do, they just don't love your lifestyle. Give them an ultimatum, make them see that having you in their lives as a homosexual is better than not having you at all.

I hope it all works out for you, and that you and your family can find peace.

You live a lifestyle that goes against scripture. You wern't born that way, you have chosen to live this lifestyle which is why your folks are so down on it.

And you think they get upset because of this then you are outta touch. They KNOW you will suffer eternal damnation for this and this is why they behave the way they do.

And listening to all these people telling you that homosexuality is ok will only add to your dilema. I think you should seek spiritual advice and get back some sort of church sponsored therapy. Good Luck & God Bless.

WOW shup your religious ass up. It is completely fine for people to be homosexual... you religious people really make me sick. You preach about not being judgemental and all that other nonsence shit and try to tell people how to live THEIR lives. You are the one who will serve eternity in DAMNATION! lewlz and yes im agnostic and people like you are why i am agnostic. I dont hate "god"... I just hate his/her fan club.

On point your parents are trying to still control your live a little and what you ever do with yours is your own buisness and whom ever you choose to be with is fine as long are you care for them and they care for you.

thats a little heavy, its a brave new world. and you only get one chance of life. live it the way you want :]

It is really very sad for you and them that they can not accept the way things are with their own daughter. I hope you are holding up OK despite their lack of support and acceptance.

You had no way of knowing they would behave so badly & extreme. It is probably hard on you but you must accept that this is a problem of their own making for which you have no responsibility. If your mom needed therapy about this she needed it before this.

They are being ridiculous and with no consideration to the damage it is doing to their relationship with you. Try to stand back and forgive them - or at least stand back.

Don't listen to this hogwash.

I think they feel like you ruined their lives. From the day you were born they were anticipating your wedding day, grandchildren, family picnics, etc. Now all their dreams for you are in the trash.

Gays tend to have very loose, promiscious lifestyles that are filled with drugs, alcohol and casual sexual encounters and early death statistics.

I would feel so sad if that was the fate one of my children choose.

Your a disgrace.
Stereotypes like you
make the world like hell for being different.
I would be upset to have a mother like you.
You know not every gay or lesbian couple are like that i know two mature women who were
excited to get married in california and their relationship has nothing to do with drugs or alcohol. You need to see it from their point of view and quit being a stereotype.

Parents love their children, and want what they think is the best for them. Generally they don't think homosexuality is the right route and end up blaming themselves. I would be devastated if my child was gay, but I'd still love them nonetheless.

Reading these comments, what always strikes me as odd is that the people who are shouting the loudest about homosexuality being totally okay are the same one's who often dis people by calling them gay. Somehow, our emotions understand that being a homosexual is a FAILURE and a metaphysically criminal activity but our intellect, which is characteristically the weakest part of our mental makeup embraces this absurd idea of what is so OBVIOUSLY an evolutionary dead end. (even though I don't believe in evolution in the ordinary sense)

Thats terrible! Even though im straight i'd say you should stand up to them for ruining your life!

wat? thats rubbish!
