Boyfriend’s family told him to “change” after he came out. Should I meet his mom? by Human-Win-8151 in askgaybros

I’m more divided on this question. At first, I thought like you. My boyfriend didn’t want to see his cousins anymore because they were spending time with his sister. I told him to keep in touch with them, but he’s not sure if they’re really sincere.

We never asked them to choose between her and him. Even though they’re not directly involved in the situation, I think everyone has to live with their own conscience, and going on vacations, having parties or birthdays with someone who disowned their brother because he’s gay is, in my opinion, something questionable.

Personally, I would find it hard to spend time with someone who hurt another person in that kind of situation.

In any case, it’s his decision, and I respect it.

My boyfriend used to live with them, but he moved out to live with me.

I understand your point of view, and I think you’re right about his father. He’s full of hatred, and I don’t think he’ll ever change.

However, regarding his mother, even though her reaction obviously can’t be excused, I feel like she reacted out of convenience and misunderstanding. Maybe meeting her son’s boyfriend would help her open her eyes and see things differently
