I think Robbie's partly right, but what it more comes down to is this: parents have a hard enough time explaining "normal" relationships and sex (mommy, daddy, birds/bees) to their children without adding the confusion of "abnormal"/minority conditions. Further, regardless of a parent's opinion on how normal and acceptable homosexuality is, no parent wants their child to be homosexual any more than they want their child to have to deal with any other physiological, psychological, or social hardship. By shielding them from the Facts of Life (and homosexuality), they feel they're protecting the child from those hardships.

Also, how are the two of you displaying your homosexuality? Holding hands, hugging, flirting, peck on the cheek, kiss on the lips? (i.e., how does your behavior compare to a heterosexual couple in similar circumstances?) Depending on the behavior, a parent might pull their child back from a heterosexual couple behaving the same way--or their tolerance might be lower, which I'm inclined to believe.

I followed over here from the Lesbian community - I've added you, hope that's okay :)
