<p>So my close friend is a lesbian and my mom doesn't like it when we hang out (I'm a girls, too). My mom somehow thinks my friend will influence me to be gay. Her ignorance angers me but is very funny at the same time. </p>
<p>Anyone else face problems like this?</p>
<p>Having been in the musical for several years, I’ve become quite accustomed to homosexuals, as have my parents. Like 3/4 of our cast is homosexual every year. They don’t bother me.</p>
<p>That’s dumb. Minnesota is definitely not New York (where I live).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>She thinks it’s a disease or something? Wow…</p>
<p>soooo glad i live in maryland</p>
<p>naw i dont rlly chill wit gay ppl but my sister does and my parents dont care</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes. Because everyone here in New York embraces homosexuality with a giant open-armed rainbow!</p>
<p>Gay-haters are everywhere.</p>
<p>I’m gay, and my parents are so so. They don’t really care about me. I’m just kinda, here. I’m moving out soon though, probably when I turn 16 at the end of the school year. I’ll just have to drop by occasionally to pay my car insurance :)</p>
<p>Anywho. There are anti-gay people everywhere. Even in California. The most liberal state (arguably) in the U.S and they are open minded enough to elect a black president, but still conservative enough to overturn gay marriage. </p>
<p>Just tell your parents that you’re straight, and nobody is going to change your orientation. It’s so stupid when parents say things like that. I hate it. Other peoples parents have been awkward around me. I guess you just get used to it though.</p>
<p>I live in South Florida, and it’s pretty anti-gay from the parents I know. People my age I guess its better. More people will become open to homosexuality as the years move on.</p>
<p>never had that problem because i don’t know many gay people</p>
<p>I live in Vermont, and am very pro gay rights though my father, granfather, and lots of other people I know are anti gay.
Tres triste</p>
<p>@WishWash</p>
<p>you are not serious are you? 3/4?</p>
<p>There actually aren’t too many people who are around here, but my mother doesn’t normally know who I’m around anyways, so it wouldn’t really make a diference.</p>
<p>Yeah, coming out to my parents was a horrible experience. It’s been two years, and we haven’t talked about it since.</p>
<p>Most of my friends and their families are more liberal, though, so it’s not too bad. I just have to be careful, sometimes, even when we’re talking about, say, politics not to let my thoughts come through.</p>
<p>^
Are you male or female? I’d guess male by parents reaction, although many females have gotten horrible reactions.</p>
<p>I never officially said it to my parents, they found out and i was like well. yeah. whatever. and walked away. We haven’t really talked about it, ever, and we never will. They’re just anti-gay without saying it I guess.</p>
<p>Female, but I’m sure it didn’t help my cause that my then-best friend was a lesbian who quite obviously had a thing for me and whom my parents despised.</p>
<p>Yeah, sadly, my parents think homosexuality is a disease.</p>
<p>^
Lol. That makes me laugh.
A lot of people are like that though. I like thinking of homosexuality as, it is. It’s like the weather, it just is.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Except it’s harder to explain how homosexuality is the way it is…</p>
<p>My parents don’t embrace homosexuality at all. I don’t hang out w/ lesbians anyway but I’ve had like 2 gay friends</p>
<p>i know what you are saying. im a dude but i have a lot of girl friends not really that much guy friends but it doesn’t mean i like guys. girls just come to me. i have guy friends. but my parents tells me i hang out with too much girls and it ****es me sometimes. i dont like guys i like girls, i dont feel any physical attraction towards guys, just not my thing. in fact my best friend is a girl…and her best friend is a guy, which is me…why does it make a difference. thats enough said</p>
