Grandparent issues

[gayprideguy12]

lets say i have a very supportive mother and a father whos trying to accept it but a grandmother who says its just a phase,,, like i have no idea what to say or to do. should i just rub it in her face with my boy friend or ............ what????????? Please help

[ackmedslayer556]

no dont do that... because then she might say other hurtful things
older people didnt have that stuff in their generation so theyre not used to it
parents is one thing because theyre your parents they raised u and they will most likely accept you.

That generation does not understand very much about being gay/bi. And they are unlikely to fully accept this concept even if you do explain it to them.

But don't rub it in your grandmother's face either. That won't do anyone any good. Just explain it as best you can to her anyway, and leave it at that. She might not agree with it, but she'll get used to the idea eventually.

And if she doesn't get used to the idea then so be it. It's very hard to change older people's ideas and views on such topics that invoke strong feelings in people. However, I'm sure that she still loves you and cares about you, so nothing to worry about there. And also, you've got a great support system with both of your parents, so that's awesome.

Just sit down next to her one day when you're alone give her a kiss and tell her.
