I've been with my current partner almost two years (I'm 24). I came out to my parents almost three years ago (about a year before I met my current partner). When I first came out, they made it clear that they weren't happy about the situation and that they were basically going to treat me the same, but they didn't have any interest in meeting anyone I'm dating.
Since that time, they have slowly gotten better but still do not want to meet anyone that I'm dating. I'm guessing it's easier for them to have a gay son if they don't have to actually *see* it.
Now that my partner and I have been together for two years, I want them to at least invite him to certain things. In this situation, if my parents say no, they don't want to meet my partner, what should I do? Obviously I'm not going to ditch the boyfriend, but at the same time I can't allow my parents to continue to pretend like I'm not gay. What would you do in this situation?
