Your mother and mine must have been separated at birth. The more you tell us about her, the more I'm certain they're twins.

My mother once told me she would be "mortified" (her word -- have never forgotten it) if one of her children were gay. So I just haven't ever said anything to her about it....One of my nephews is gay and fully out (at 17!! -- brave kid) and she's awful about it.

I think it is your kid and your decision who you associate with and your mom needs to be kept away from your little boy as much as possible. It's a shame she's so clueless, but I applaud you for standing up to her.
