November 11, 1918 - At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Great War ends. At 5 a.m. that morning, Germany, bereft of manpower and supplies and faced with imminent invasion, signed an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside Compiégne, France. The First World War left nine million soldiers dead and 21 million wounded, with Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, France, and Great Britain each losing nearly a million or more lives. In addition, at least five million civilians died from disease, starvation, or exposure.

I hate only coming around here to b*tch about my mom but... today was absolutely awful.
She had taken me to this Jazz Concert that is a requirement for me to pass my Choral Studies class, and about half way through she saw my friend who wears eyeliner. (He's straight) She said "Is that your boyfriend, is that why you were checking him out" (I wasn't) and then she started carping at me about me being gay, in the middle of the auditorium with dozens of people around. She was telling me how she hated how I was gay, and the same crap I mentioned in my first post about my mom out loud with all these people around. I finally couldn't take it anymore and I finally decided for us to leave. On the car ride home it was a lot worse, I pulled the "What would Jesus do in this situation card to her" and she said "He would tell you it's wrong and disgusting." She was telling me how miserable gay guys are, and how they all end up becoming drug addicts. She also reminded me that if I was gay that she would no longer pay for my college, which makes abslolutely no sense. Ruining my life because of something that her diluted fake-Christian mind views as fact. What really got to me though was when I said... "Would you rather me be straight and miserable, and then have a higher possibility of taking drugs" she retorted with "Go right ahead, suck as many d*cks as you want and go get f*cked by one and get AIDS." Those were her exact words. She keeps on telling me that being gay woud ruin my future by not being able to have children, she is totally ignorant to the possibilities of co-parenting with lesbians and even adoption. I'm afraid that I will never be able to break through to her... I'm afraid that until I'm 18, I should just give up all hope on trying to be happy around her. In conclusion, for those of you who can't aleady tell... I HATE my mom! *goes and screams* >_>

There has to be some sort of law against verbally abusing your kid.

She just needs to accept it, it's getting really depressing, even though I told myself that I will no longer care about what she says. Though when she's 2 feet away from you screaming those kinds of things it's a bit difficult to ignore.

sSap the **** out of her. That oughta show her you're still a man. <_<

I was reading through this Christian book that she got me of why I shouldn't be gay, and it said in a section that the family should make the gay person as miserable as possible. See, this is why I turned away from my parents religion. It's full of people who have views like that who think that making people miserable makes them change their ways.

Get a priest or someone to have a talk with her. There's gotta be gay-friendly priests around, given you're in California.

It's still special though ^_^. Not like I know what I'll now be legally allowed to do. Not like I really care either, I'm hardly a fan of alcohol or anything. Also it's not like my life is going to change just because I'm legal to have sex o_O. Anyway I'm only saying it's special because all my birthdays are. I get to spend some quality time with friends. And I'll be getting that Ivalice soundtrack. Not like any of you care, but it's awesome for me ^_^.
Jupetta, grr. Not again T_T. I can't believe she's doing this. I mean I've never even heard of the 'gays take drugs' situation before anyway. Plus the only issue with adoption for gay couples right now is the Pope who's being incredibly homophobic and is corrupting millions of minds each day >_>. And what the HELL?! A CHRISTIAN BOOK SAYS THAT?! Ok I'm just appalled, please, keep staying away. Or move to the UK (not like you can) because it's a lot more accepting. That's stupid, immoral, and actually against Christianity. Because Jesus appreciated everybody in case your mum forgot.
So it starts again T_T. Please keep us updated. I mean she's humiliating you, and that IS verbal abuse. So yea as Gabbiani said, look for those who can prove her wrong, because believe me, she is, and she is really out of order. Again. I thought this was supposed to be over. Well best of luck, and I'll try to be of more use later when I get home from work.

Chapter 1 Posted.
that the biggest bullsh*t i just read. honestly from just reading it your mom doesn't fricken care about you. i'd really fight up with her if i were you and the problem with me, one i say something i really go on. your mother has no right to force you to like something that you don't like. my mom accepted me when i told her i was bi because one of her sisters are bi and i even told her i prefer men more though. your mother is a low-life hag who needs to really suck it up. she CAN'T force you to be heterosexual, and it does need to come from you. if she wants you misrable, that's not a good mother. a real mother would want their child happy no matter what. i don't see that kind of a vibe from her. >_>;
-rantrantrant-
Aww, babes.
Your Mommy sounds like a real meany head.
Embarassing you in front of all those people.
Being gay certain does NOT ruin your life.
Heck, i'd say that it makes your life a billion times better.
Also, don't be happy around her.
You shouldn't have to put on a fake smile just to please her.
Show her that until she's the bad guy in the situation,
until starts accepting you for who you are,
and loves you the same even if your gay/straight/bi.
Oh dear me... Jupetta, I am so sorry. Have you tried to simply give her the facts cold and straight (no pun there ;P)? I mean like...
"Mom, there is absolutely nothing you can do to make me straight. Nobody has every been turned straight. Yes, they may start sleeping with women and get heterosexually married after years of vicious abuse, but deep down they are still homosexual, and that glimmer of true being will always push forth until the person once again accepts his homosexuality. You have no hope of turning me, because you cannot. If you truly believe that my life will be miserable because I'm gay, then you should act as a mother and do your best to make sure it may turn out well, such as paying my college tuition and supporting me throughout the beginnings of my life."
Try and drive home the point that she is actually only pushing you further toward a life of drugs and the like by being so abusive and unsupporting. Thus she is contradicting herself...
Also, does she know about Serebii? If she found out you have a "*** group" or whatever, it may make things worse...But you seem to come on here seldom, so that's good. Again, I just wish I could show up on your step and knock some sense into her head.
I could, actually. I'm going to British Columbia soon, and that's right above California. Of course, I wouldn't know your address. Don't give it to me just yet while I figure things out...![]()
Lucky your parents accept you.... My Mom has a brother that was gay (I've probably mentioned a few times how he died and the like) and she doesn't seem to approve of it. That's probably why my other uncle, her other brother hasn't come out to anyone (i've seen him in a gay chatroom although I still don't know if he's seen me too).
And Juppetto (sp?), the reason gays' lives are miserable and some resort to drugs is because we have parents and others who treat us with such disgust and hate as your mother has been treating you. The best thing you can do is to prove her wrong, to be a great person with a good life and live happily.
That completely sucks, Jupetta.Here's my advice: become one of those people who are religiously neutral. Would that help, though?
What is it with mothers and grandchildren? Even my own mother goes, "I want you to get married so I can have grandchildren." Is that an alterior motive for having children? So they can get grandchildren?

Lust you hit the most important point there. A mother should want what's best for her child, but it has to be of happiness.. Not to try to hurt somebody.
Nathan, my parents are the same. They seem to be obsessed with me bringing them family. The fortunate thing is that they're Christians yet as against the Pope and for homosexuality (I think), but as I've said I'm in a very traditional yet accepting society. Perhaps you should ship your mum off here for a while ¬_¬.
Well I think I've said what I needed to the last time, but I'm here as a friend. Email me if you need to, I don't want to seem like I'm not replying much to this issue. All the best from me.

I know, I just wish people wouldn't assume one's going to have children. When my dad realized I was gay, he was sort of stunned for a bit, and kept saying synonymous sentences of "I'm not going to have grandchildren..." << So what if his family line dies? It's not going to be the end of humanity. It was rather selfish of him.
Besides, I ain't at all that cracked up about adopting either. I know my life isn't going to allow for a baby and hyper kid and later a moody teenager. Plus the massive drain on finances and sanity. Nothing against kids, but no thank you.
Hey, little new topic: If you are gay or lesbian, and are rather certain you will later on settle in life with somebody else, would you adopt? (or have in virto fertilization, if you are lesbian)
Weekend, yay.![]()
I really, really can't stand kids, they drive me insane. I'll never adopt.
No. I love kids, but I can't handle having to raise them. I'd go insane, and I know that I'd be a crap father. :\
