You shouldn't make commitments you are not going to honor. We will think less of you for it.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

So got off the phone with the parents (two separate phone calls, of course) and kinda surprised.

My dad, I had no idea his political stance, but he said my mom called him at 6 this morning overworked about the situation and he told her that if I'm in a relationship she'll need to accept it whether she likes it or not.

My mom, after years of homophobic comments in general, and later directed at me (last year's "I don't support that lifestyle and won't accept it under my roof" standing out in particular), she surprised me with saying she loves me and accepts me as long as I'm 100% sure that this is who I am and that I own it, that I'm happy, and as long as whoever I'm with treats me right. Then she turned the phone call into a lecture about how I shouldn't push family away, though perhaps I wouldn't have been pushing her away if she weren't making homophobic comments every time I was around.

Congratulations, that is a happy ending. Ignore the petty stuff, if it doesn't get a reaction out of you eventually it will stop.

Thats good, that's very good. I can understand why she thought you were pushing away, but if she was inherently scared of your love choices, then her point isn't too valid. But, she came around, and that's what matters.

Moms are pros at pettiness, learn well at her feet young one, it comes from concern. Very happy ending.

This calls for feather boas.

Such is the nature of crushes. It's alright. At least they're not stalking. That's where they don't like you, not just aren't into you.

I'll probably get over it in a month or so and then we can have lovely movie nights without it feeling awkward. Not yet though.
