The way of the warrior is never easy. Sometimes, and specially when you need transport to school, the path of least resistance is the most useful. :tongue:
Parents are weird beings (I am a parent and grandparent, so feel qualified to comment
). One parent says something, whether born out of knowledge, prejudice, or whether they are repeating something they've no idea about but just thought they heard someone say once, and the other one has to agree, because the consequences of not agreeing are usually too awful to contemplate. :eek: So, child gets caught in the middle and nothing is solved. Give them time. However weird it might seem that no one ever questions how a teenager knows they are straight when they are sixteen, the same logic never applies to gay offspring. It is always assumed we are mistaken.
Your mum is wrong about relationships. Many, many gay men form strong, stable, loving and faithful relationships. The biggest problem most of us ever encounter is the attitudes of those who think they need to make some comment about us, when they would never dream of saying something similar about a straight relationship.
I've been with my man for many years. We both plan to be together for a lot longer.
