I'm proud of my mother

[transeo]

I just have to share this story because it was so touching to me.

The weekend before Christmas, when my brother and sister-in-law were visiting and talking about their best friends who are total Christofascists, my mother said to them "As the mother of a gay son I cannot stand them or anything they stand for and I don't understand why you associate with people who act like Nazis." I have never been more proud in my life. :hi:

1. I like your mom too

I wish there were more like her.

2. Does she want to adopt? OR maybe I will adopt HER!

Sounds like a wonderful woman!:hi:

[transeo]

5. She's already adopted one of my friends

who's parents are dead and never accepted him when they were alive. He's my "date" to all of our family gatherings now that I'm single again and she's usually more excited to see him than me. She had a rough time when I came out 11 years ago, but she has really come around.

3. What a blessing she must be to you.

My brother and sister are both gay and I would kill anyone who would bring them harm. Give your mom a big hug!! She deserves it.

4. Your mother's empathy and support are a Blessing that gives to you

the Heart of your own identity, something without which you would be just a zombie. She is a real Christian and your brother and sister-in-law are also Blessed to know her.

6. Yay for Transeo's Mom!!!!!!!

my Mom asked me if my snoring bothered my girlfriend, which was actually major progress for her!

7. Oh, man!

I love this story. It's the best Christmas story I've heard this year!

Give your Mom another hug from me! :hug:

8. That's awesome!

All of us, gay or not, would be lucky to have a mother like yours. Thank you for sharing. :hug:

9. I feel very blessed

In the last couple years both my parents have been amazing - they have come to some drag cabaret shows I've done and both of my parents were interviewed in a short film called "Lipstick Men" that was made about the Seattle drag scene and played in the film festival circuit. For the last two summers my friends and I have trekked out to their place for a big gay BBQ my mother plans. She has started to remind me of the Sharon Gless character on Queer as Folk.

11. Wow! I thought my mom has come a long way

but I can't picture her making that strong a statement.

Good on 'ya.
