Depends on how homophobic they are, and if you have any more tolerant relatives, and how they treat *you*. They may have some rules, like "no sleeping in the same bed". If so, stay in a hotel. If you think they'll be violent, obviously keep her away. If they'll just be uncomfortable, sure, have them meet. Promise your girlfriend a more fun activity--preferably one she wants more than you--when you're done. That's how I dealt with mine in this situation.

It wouldn't be bad. It might be awkward and difficult at the time, but perhaps then your girlfriend would understand why you'd been so hesitant.
If you simply explain to her that your family is homophobic and might make her feel bad about the love you share, and tell her how they make you feel, maybe she'll be more understanding and will ease off on suggesting she meet them
Best of luck to you!

Why would you subject her to that kind of drama?
Would you be bringing her to antagonize your family?
Have they said they want to meet her?
Does she know what kind of people they are?
Would YOU want to meet and go into the home of people you KNEW would hate you for being who you are?
If you want her to meet your family, you should do it one at a time, on your girlfriends turf.
Do you still live at home?

that depends how well prepared the two of you are. i suggest you talk about this thoroughly before you decide to meet everybody else. just be honest, i think that will rub on anybody who sees the sincerity in both of you. good luck.

No. Your family have to deal with gay and lesbian things. They will never escape gay and lesbian. Don't worry. bring her to them. Love gay or hate gay. Period. lol

Maybe introduce her as your friend. I'm sure they'll suspect, but they probably won't say anything.
