Today, my grandmother called me to tell me that there will be a nice, single guy for me to meet at the family reunion. She went on and on about how perfect he was for me. I didn't have the heart to tell her I'm a lesbian, and have been out to the rest of the family for over six years. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

A guy at the family reunion? He's a family friend right?...and not a relative

1, It's not an uncommon thing in many cultures and places around the world where being with your cousin is taboo. Even here in America there are places where you're allowed to.

Exactly, if she wasn't good enough for her family, why should she be good enough for mine?

If you'd told your grams along with the rest of the family, this wouldn't even be an issue. YDI, OP.

I can understand why op didn't want to tell her grandma. In my family I have an uncle and cousin that didn't tell grandma. My cousin finally did which was surprising, but you have to realize not everybody is accepting of this especially people from their time.

There is also a possibility that maybe Op did tell her grandma and she's either senile or she could have Alzheimer's. Either of those would explain why Op "didn't have the heart to tell her" because maybe she didn't want to remind her of her age or her condition.

21, surely if OP were to tell her nan again she wouldn't remember it from the first time so she wouldn't technically be reminding her she has a condition or that she's old? I think it's just due to her being from a generation where it wasn't heard of like it is today. :)

Even if not a lesbian, there's also the rule about not finding romance at family reunions. I guess it more of a guideline and not a strict rule.

Awkward. Can you meet the person to appease her wanting to help? Then gradually let her in on the news?

Try to tell let her down easily? Although it might be a bit of a dificult task since she probably has an old fashioned mind...

Maybe that sister is straight.

Well OP you better not tell granny the truth, she will have a heart attack....And you don't want to be known as the lesbo killing granny.

That's cute though your grandmother is trying to help. She sounds like a great person you should tell her your lesbian I'm sure she wl support you

My Grammy is super supportive and if I ever needed help finding a great guy shed find me someone from her church.... But if I ever told her I was into women, she would disown me.
