LGBT Parents?

[JordanB777]

Does anyone here have LGBT parents?

I have two moms (well technically 3 because I'm adopted but...yeah) who were just partners most of my life but last summer were able to finally get married. :) It was cool.

The only problem I have is sometimes I'm afraid to have friends over that don't know my parents are lesbian. I'm always scared they will overreact or something, and -- I know it sounds wrong and I shouldn't care -- but I'm afraid they will tell everyone at my school and it will give them even more reason to bully me. :(

It's really confusing.

This sounds wrong and in hindsight I feel bad for even asking it but...one time when I was in 6th grade I asked one of my moms to pretend she was just a roommate and sleep in the guest room. Of course she refused...which I didn't get at the time but more understand now. She shouldn't have to hide herself...but I hardly ever have friends over and I guess I was excited that someone actually wanted to sleep over.

I don't know. I'm not ashamed of my parents but at the same time...this. It's really confusing because I support them but also don't want to be afraid if anyone wants to sleep over or something.

Ugh...anyone have LGBT parents? What's your experience(s)?

I don't have any. My crush has two moms. It came as a surprise to me, but not that much as my crush is LGBT.

I do not, but hey, be proud of them ok?
They are standing up for who they are and what's right and how they believe.

And, they are your rents, so be cool with them
If some of your friends take issue with it, so what, who cares, that's on them

I think it's a lot more accepted now than it used to be. If I didn't know and I visited you I wouldn't be shocked to find out. I might be curious as to how your family worked and how you get along with your moms, but I wouldn't think it was weird or anything.

I would say invite people over and let them make up their minds. If they can't handle it, then maybe they're not good material for friends.

i understand what you are going through... stuck between love for family and acceptance from friends... but I think you should first talk to your parents about inviting your peers, to which they would perhaps definitely agree. but you should tell your friends beforehand about your family so as to avoid creating any scene at your house. if they accept it calmly, then go ahead. if they don't, they are probably not the right kind of people to be friends with. simply let them go and don't be embarrassed but respect the wonderful family you are gifted with.

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I just have to be brave and not care what people think. Thanks for writing. :)
