Parents - bisexual boyfriend problems

Look at it from their oint of view. No matter how much you want to rationalise it, very few parents have a child wanting them to be gay.

Wait, why do they know he's bisexual? How was that ever relevant to them?

He told them when they met up. (They didn't have very good first impressions either way before they agreed to meet up but their homophobia added fuel to the fire I guess and made things more awkward.) My mum said 'I can accept someone being one way or the other, but not someone who is both as it means they are more likely to cheat."

That is terrible. I find it hard to understand how parents can't support their children. I never plucked up the courage to tell my parents I enjoy the occasional dibble dabble into both gender pools but then again it has never come up and I have only had relationships with men (and yeah who tells their parents about every little fling!) so I don't know what it is to be brave enough to come out but I have a lot of queer friends who have the same amount of balls you do, some of them got a bad reception at first but eventually the parents came round (took more than a year but now they accept him and his boyfriend. Just be patient and it should work out. Don't let yourself be dragged into screaming arguments with them though, you are better than taht.

There's nothing you can really do to change someone else's mind. You can't force them to see what's right. Sometimes you've just gotta let them figure it out and stop letting them hurt you with their homophobia. Maybe your parents don't like your boyfriend but you certainly do , right. I know it sucks that they're not over it yet but that's not your fault or anything. Maybe for now just back off the situation until it cools down

Tell your parents he's now straight. Personally, I don't believe telling stuff to people which may otherwise cause unnecessary trouble.

Why would you tell your girlfriend's parents that your bisexual though? I can't see how that could EVER come up in conversation.

Unfortunately there's not much you can do just love you life and be a happy. The way I got round it with my parents is simply now when I see them it's jus "pleasantries" eg how are you etc never get into deep convo, see them for one night only and make that occurrence as rare as possible.

Yeah I have tried that before - resulting in a period of six months where we barely spoke!
And then when I started speaking to them again, my mother blamed me for it all.
But that was when I was a bit younger - now I'm not afraid to stand up for myself as I have a lot more self assurance.
They've never given him a chance that is what is so ridiculous! They had argument with him when they first met - he was my first boyf etc and I think they saw him as trying to take me away from them - overprotective parents syndrome - then I left home as a result of all this.
Sorry for the long posts but it does feel good to talk about this to an unemotionally involved audience!
I usually let it slide but last Friday the degree of the offensiveness really got me.
I just wish I could have a normal parent boyfriend relationship where he comes round for xmas dinner or whatever but i don't see that happening as they seem to define him by his sexuality.
