My parents think I’m a lesbian and I’m straight
My mom told me that both her and my dad think that I’m a lesbian because all of my friends are in the LGBT+ community somehow or another. I’m straight and I feel like I’ve told her so many times. She says I’m obsessed with gay people and it’s like no... I just like RuPaul’s Drag Race sometimes!
Also, not sure if this is relevant but I live in a conservative household and I thought my mom was pretty accepting but the more I listen maybe not.
Am I wrong to feel a little insulted that she doesn’t believe me?
Well for starters, you can sit down and talk to her, i think perhaps she has misunderstood and thinks you don't think she approves of the LGBT+ community or something similar and is trying to hide it from her (but it looks like she's totally chill about it, so that's good). Maybe just explain and have a chat. reply
Hey!
Maybe it’s her way of being supportive and creating a safe heaven or something. Have you asked her why she thinks you are a lesbian, and if it would be so bad if you were (I know you aren’t though)? There could be an underlying cause like maybe her parents were strict or something. The only way for you to really know is to just aks her. B...... 2 reply

If this comes up again and her only reason remains who your friends are, maybe you should ask her why she thinks your a lesbian rather than transgendered. 1 reply
Your parent´s reaction could be because they´re rushing you into having a partner, but that's a pretty toxic attitude. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, and with your story, I really feel that it's just a not only toxic but also homophobic attitude on their part. reply
ngl u sound like the average straight girl to me. explain to her that in this day and age its common for straight girls to be interested in mlm (man-loving-man) culture. i really just don't think she understands what being queer entails, so don't take offense in it (being called a lesbian isn't an insult, just explain the truth!) just tell her plai...... reply
I legit wonder if you have every asked her that question. "Like mom, why do you want me to be a lesbian so bad?" If you ever do, let us know her reply lol. Maybe instead of saying "No I'm not a lesbian" just play with her and say something like "Ok if you so desperately want me to be" and see her reaction. People's reactions can say a lot.
