So, some of you might remember me from when I posted about my parents being homophobic and I'm secretly lesbian...

Well, I still haven't told anybody, but something happened and I just have to share it.

Me, my step-mom, and step sis were all talking about how people do ridiculous stuff when they're in love and I was kinda picking on people like that. (It was in good nature. I wasn't being an a-hole.)

Mom: "It's going to be so funny when Rose falls in love with someone(?) and starts doing those stupid things people do when they're in love."

(She thinks it'd be funny because I'm very proper and reserved and 'normal'. I do not do silly things.)

Big Sis: "Yeah, it'll be so cute when she falls in love with some guy and starts doing all those things she swore she'd never do!"

Me: "That'll never happen to me."

Mom: "You just wait, someone's(?) going to come along and you won't know what hit you."

Me: "I'm not going to act stupid because of some guy."

Big Sis: In her exaggerated, joking tone. "Oh yeah, didn't you know, mom? Rose is a secret lesbian."

Me: inwardly screams in terror

Mom: Raises eyebrows and make face she uses for both jokes and serious concerns. (Yes, she has a face she uses for both) "I really am starting to worry about that."

Me: Inwardly screams louder. I rolled my eyes, and shook my head with my joking, I'm dealing with crazy people, smile. "You two are both insane. There must be something in the water because you're losing it."

To my relief, we stopped talking about me, and moved back to the person who we were talking about who is currently in love.

But like, am I reading between the lines too much, or does anyone else think the fact that my mom kept saying "someone" instead of "some guy", like my sister, seem interesting to you?

I use 'someone' when referring to my future spouse as a way of not insinuating anything. Do you think she was doing that too?

Despite her joke, I know my sister suspects nothing. She's a kidder, and very naive, even though she is older then me. But my mom... She doesn't know me as well as she'd like because I'm very secretive, but she told me she thought I was anorexic and bipolar before I even realized it. And she has one heck of a finely tuned gay-dar.

But anyway, even if you guys don't have anything to say, I just had to share that. Get it off my chest, you know?

What do you think your mom was feeling when she said that she was starting to worry, and when she said someone'a going to come along?

[Talthybius]

If she suspects it, and if she fears it and will hate you for it, would she really make a joke about it? Few things must be harder on homophobic parents than to learn about their homosexuality of their child. Not stuff to joke about.

Now I don't know your mother. But that would be weird to me. Then again, that might be typical behavior for her.

Now maybe she said it out of anger and frustration, so what Bill3 says; what were her feelings?

Since you think she is homophobic, she probably was looking for confirmation from you that you are not.
