New to the forums; question about parents

RE: New to the forums; question about parents
Personally, as someone who is both gay and an atheist, I think you're expecting too much from your mother. You're asking her to embrace ideology in direct opposition to hers. I really don't want to see religious shit on my Facebook feed so I block it sometimes, and if it is too hateful, I unfriend people over it. Is that discrimination? Your mother probably just doesn't want to see things that she feels are disrespectful to her religion. Maybe that means she is not fully accepting of atheism, but is she otherwise accepting and supportive of you as a person? If so, then what's the problem? I count people among my friends that do not accept my atheism or my homosexuality, because they accept and love me as a person. Maybe I should have higher standards. I dunno.
