people need to be more accepting. People are not bad people because they are gay, nor are they bad for being religious. Piece of mind comes from accepting one another. Tell her that you agree to disagree about your differences in lifestyle, but that you are a person and just like everyone else you deserve respect and consideration. If she can't meet you in the middle to keep the piece for the rest of your family then I would call her a toxic person and you should eliminate contact with her( as hard as that is...sometimes it is for the best) She will realize that she either accepts you as you are or she loses you. Don't harbor any bitterness...it is never healthy. Just be open and honest. Not angry. Good luck.Stand up for who you are always.

Well its like this.She thumps the bible you thump the gay parades.You either believe the bible or you do not.She does and the bible condemns homosexuality sorry.They are NOT born that way, they develop that way.Every gay I have met except one has been molested as a child.The one is just a pervert and will try anything.You dont see anything wrong with it and neither of you will change the other's mind.All you can do is ask her not to preach and you promise to keep quite about your gay parades and gay activities.Otherwise she is entitled to her views and to voice them as well as you have those same rights.

i don't think she will change any time soon. try to agree with anything she says and do just the opposite. when she tells u that u are going to hell just agree with her and thank her for her love for u but that u are a lost cause and change the subject. tell her she is right about everything she is shoving down your throat then go on with your own life and say nothing to her about anything you do. see your father n law and completely ignore what she says.

Be the bigger person and more mature person and call it a truce. Sometimes you just have to agree to disagree with someone to make the relationship work. This is a subject that you should agree to be off limits between you. It can be worked out. Good luck.

Religion is something you don't want to mess with. Just tell her that you have a right to your opinion and she has a right to her opinion and that you should leave it at that. When you go to visit your father in law just stick to topics he enjoys after all it is him you are visiting.
