but you could say; "I would treat you better if you were more accepting, i am the same person before i came out and am not able to become straight just for you mom."

Then I said how I was gay.good for you, i think the best place to discuss emotional family issues is while driving. You have been dealing with your sexual preference all your life, cant expect your mother to be all knowing. goto the local LGBT center in near your town and get your mother some reading material. Over all parents might likely come around, give it some time.

Just today my dad said ...tell your mother it is a sexual preference and your still the same person; you can have a successful husband, family and yes career. tell them you are more accepted at work and its for the good job you do. Tell them they should not climb into your bed and who ever you sex it is not their business so long as its a loving lasting relationship. Tell them it will be impossible for you to marry a girl and if you do it will end in divorce. Being gay is not what it used to be in their day back when. You wold like them to meet all your boy friends and husband but only if they are constructive supportive.

Good luck, generally easier to start with your mother, get her some reading material. Look at what the local LGBT center in your area has to offer. Do they do counseling for your parent(s).
