Entertaining things said by my mom....

when debating my sexual orientation

1. Mom- "I keep asking you if you are a lesbian, but you keep saying no. I don't understand."
Me- "I'm not a lesbian. I'm queer, or bi, if that is easier to understand. I like both women and men."

(Rinse and Repeat...over and over and over again)

2. Mom- "I have no problem with gay people, I just have a problem with you."

3. Mom- "I just don't believe that you are gay. You're not that kind of person." (for the record she cannot give a coherent description of what that kind of person is.)

4. Mom- (this one's my favorite)- "I think that the reason that you can't find a guy who will like you is because you date girls. I would imagine that is a turn off. If I was a guy I would be turned off." (my question to you is what would you say to my mom if you were in my shoes? How exactly do you try to explain why it might be a turn on...hopefully you can understand why I had to fight to stiffle my laughter.)
