Today, after having a long talk with my mother about LGBT rights, she told me that she was totally open. I felt completely relieved, being gay myself. Seconds later, she said, "But not for you. I want you to find me a nice girl that can give me lots of grandkids." FML

She can't control your adult life. OP, go find a nice guy and maybe adopt kids?

Don't be afraid to let her know that's not going to happen. She's your mother, so all she really wants is for you to be happy, and if you could convince her to be open with gays, than you could convince her to be open with adopted grandchildren as well.

I think sometimes moms only have kids FOR grand kids. I know this about my mom and the moms of 2 friends. Looks like your just another grand kid delivery man.

And if the OP were straight and married a woman, of course that would guarantee that they'd give OP's mother lots of grandchildren.

Don't worry the same exact thing happened to me. I know it sucks but it just takes time for them to get use to the idea. Good luck and keep your head up

Tell her that she better get started on a sibling.

That really sucks OP. Technically you can still give her grandchildren with IVF and a surrogate mother, if that's not against your options, but that's a huge decision to make, so I hope your mother will become more accepting when you tell her someday.

I really hate when parents are like that. I mean, there's no guarantee that their kids even WANT kids, and it's not like homosexuals can't have kids, either. Jeeze. I'm sorry you're not comfortable yet with coming out to your mom, OP, and that's hard to hear. But if YOU actually want children there's no real reason why you can't have any. Best of luck to you :D

Jesus Christ, 47. You better brush up on your spelling and grammar for your kid's sake.

She's your mother. If she can't accept you for who you are, then she doesn't deserve to be a part of your life. Good luck, OP!

My mom did the same to me lol she fine with me being gay but anytime I have a friend who comes over cause most of them are girls she embarrasses me and says that we should have kids

WTF? Be happy and do what you want. That's what life is about: having fun and enjoying life. Explain to her that you're going to continue being yourself and MAYBE in the future IF you want children you can adopt or get a surrogate to give her a grandchild. Be happy. :)
