That's crappy. I don't have children yet but I'd like to think I wouldn't predicate my happiness for them on the fact that it be a member of the opposite sex. So long as they found a loving partner who treated them like they deserved and made them happy, I would hope that'd be enough for me.

Of course I would. We all know (thanks to science) that orientation is inborn, not a "choice," and unchangeable in life. So you are just being whom you were created to be. Perhaps your gf's mother doesn't want to face the fact that her daughter is LGBT, and seeing you just reinforces that. But this is HER problem of not being able to accept her daughter, not yours. Continue to be nice to the mom, and get your GF to absent-mindedly leave some PFLAG leaflets out "by mistake" in her room. If the mom has questions or problems, they are an excellent source. www.pflag.org

I never have had a problem with my sons boyfriends,my daughter on the other hand complains that his boyfriends are always alot better looking than hers lol.

People really need to get over the whole homophobia thing. You should be able to date whomever you choose, and not be persecuted over it. I know that if I ever have kids that I will be just fine with either of them being gay. I just hope that the woman I marry will be so open minded.

This is so much what I am afraid of right now. I just know my mom and sister aren't going to accept that after all the men I've been with, the love of my life ends up being a woman. I am going to see them this weekend and I am just shaking because I know it's going to be awful. I love Stephanie with all my heart, though and it's not going to change! Best of luck to you ohseven!!!

No one is good enough for my children, the sex of the individual doesn't matter. But if they manage to make them happy I'll put up with them. :)

To give you a direct answer to your question.For me personally I could accept my daughter or son being gay. But that's coming from someone who is very open minded. Chances are your gf's mother is very old fashioned and there could also be religious beliefs factoring into her disdain towards you. I guess right now you're in the gray. But regardless of it all, straight or gay... you are going to have to respect the feelings of her mother. Just like you can't control which sex you prefer, your gf's mother cannot control her true feelings regarding her daughters sexuality. I'm sure there's no direct hatred towards you as an individual, but merely the circumstances. Hopefully in time she'll learn to accept that the person you love or the sex that you desire is something that is beyond human control. That despite ones strength it is down to very instinct. She loves her daughter, which probably indicates her concern. And if she loves her daughter wholeheartedly, she'll be able to set everything aside and focus on her daughters happiness. Everything needs adjusting too. I think time and patience is the only solution to your problem at this point in time.

If my daughter was gay, I'd invite her g/f over for dinner & give her the same third degree as I gave her b/f. One of my daughters best friend is bi & her mother can't accept her so she might be staying w/me for a while until her mother smartens up. She is an intelligent sweet girl who happens to be attracted to both sexes & her mother has to get over & it & deal with it

I would have no problem at all with this ...so long as they were happy and safe thats all I would care about

I would love anyone who loved my child.

Does she object to YOU specifically, or hasn't she come to terms with having a lesbian daughter? If it's the latter there's not a lot you can do with it. She feels she has to support her daughter but isn't comfortable and takes it out on you. Be patient and as things develop and get more serious between you and your girlfriend, it becomes her responsibility to establish some boundaries with her mother on what is acceptable. If she objects to YOU specifically...well....it's not the first time a parent has objected to a child's significant other. Take it in stride and in perspective, and as before if things get serious there will be a time to establish some boundaries. If it's the "gay" thing, it's not about you and her mother is going to have problems no matter who she is with. Your girlfriend may someday have to make some hard choices about what she wants out of life and where her values lie. It's not fun and it's not easy, and you just have to be patient and support her, you can't fight that battle for her. And if she isn't ever going to be ready for that battle, then you need to decide if you're really both in the same place in your lives and looking for the same things. That's probably a question for down the road, not today. :)
