How about let your girl friend come out first to her parents before you ask them you want to marry her.
If they don't care or mind that their daughter is Gay! getting married to someone from the same sex wouldn't be such a big deal.

No, if they can't accept their own son, then they can't accept you. How old is your partner that you have to ask his hand in marraige.
Marraige should be a decision between two people, not more.
Gay marraige is a marraige of souls. Make sure that the purpose of marraige is to enrich your lives and the lives of the people around you. When the parents see that your love is real and that you use that love to make a difference in the world, they will see homosexuals as people too. The parents of your partner are afraid of their own shadows. In time they will see it is all about them and not you.

First off, do her parents know she is gay? Secondly, does she want to get married? If she agrees to marry you, go together to meet her parents. If her parents know she's gay, tell them that you love her, you are happy, and this is how it is. Do NOT fight back or get into an argument with them. Rather, let them hurl insults at you, because in the long run, they might feel bad about their behavior. If her parents don't know she's gay, go there as well, and calmly state the facts are mentioned earlier. Once again, don't fight with them. Just tell the situation as it is. Get married even if they don't agree. They should just see that you're a nice person who also happens to be gay.

have courage, and remember, at least YOU are being honorable about this. even if they don't react kindly at first, over time, when they see how much the two of you love each other and treat each other with respect, they will come around. these things take time, however, so even though it may be difficult to deal with such ignorance, stay strong and have hope. in the end, the love of your partner is the most important thing, and you have that! oh and CONGRADULATIONS!

Why do her parents have a say in who she marries? Ask you partner what SHE wants to do, and then tell her parents together. The whole "asking parental permission" thing seems so antiquated to me.

First of all Congrats on your upcoming wedding. If they know she's gay just ask them & if they say no then at least you've done the right & respectful thing, but try not to let them ruin your happiness

I suggest don't. You'll only piss them off more, and they probably have had enough heartache without you rubbing it in their faces even more. If it is religious opposition, they cannot in their faith give you the okay...so why force them into giving you permission for something that they don't want, and that you really don't care about, ither.
