Introducing My Gay Partner To My Conservative Parents

On the drive up, I contemplated the likelihood of my parents being totally rude to my boyfriend.

What if they ignored him? Or slipped in anti-gay remarks to his face? The thought of that potential embarrassment filled me with dread.

My phone calls with my mom didn’t help put me at ease. Every time I called her in the days leading up to Christmas, I worried for her. “I feel so overwhelmed,” she kept saying. “I’m so stressed that I want to throw up.” 

Taking care of Dad, my older sibling, and the house, all while still working, was taking its toll on her. I felt like she needed to take a Klonopin, not meet her gay son’s boyfriend. But there was no turning back, and I just wanted to help my parents have a vacation where they could actually relax.
