And yes I totally hear you on that one, one of my friends told his parents he was gay and his mum kicked him out of the house, doesn't talk to him anymore. You think someone that conceived you, carried you around inside of them for 9 months and then raised you and knows you as close as that wouldn't just stop loving you because they perceived something to be wrong with you :( but unfortunately life is shit like that, just have to take it as it comes I guess..
For my mum at least I think it has a bit to do with her cultural background, she was raised in Malaysia which is a Muslim country and homosexuality and other "deviant practices" alike of this nature are not tolerated at all. She's actually a lot better now after she has met some of my gay friends, and realises that they are normal people just like everyone else!

But still, yay for your mum actually accepting it. It's not likely to happen with my mum though ¬_¬
