Ok, so yesterday, I'm sitting in 4th period. It's the last day of exams, and school, until January, and I won't get to see many people for a while. So, as a joke, my friend Lauren wanted to put black eyeliner on me, so I let her. Just to be a little stupid and have fun before we left. Well, probably five or six girls even said I looked hot with it(But it's not something I'll continue. Not enough girls saying it's hot to combat the 9 or 10 guys saying, "You look like a fag"). Well, I completely forgot I had it on when we went to the movies after school. I came home with it on, and as soon as my mom saw it, she said, "If I ever see you with make-up on again, I'll tell your father and send you to the doctor to get a sex change, because that's not even fucking funny". I even tried to joke around and said, "Yeah, well...YOU'RE A LESBIAN!", and she got mad.

Overreacting? How many of you OTz parents would do the same? Seriously, it's just fucking eyeliner, and my mom knows that I'm not gay(Me, her, and Brandon all had a great talk about how hot a naked Danielle Harris in Rob Zombie's Halloween was after we saw it), and she's ALWAYS joking about grabbing my sister's ass and all this stupid shit. I just think it's an ignorant thing to pull, especially on her own son. It made me just want to move out or something. It's great to know that she loves me, unless I put on eyeliner, then she doesn't care.
 
Yes, that was an overreaction by your Mother. I'm not attempting to know your Mother's opinions, but some parents cannot even deal with the thought or perception that their child(ren) may be Gay or acting like the opposite sex.

Eventhough you're not Gay, your Mom probably panicked. One of my cousin's parents refused to acknowledge that their son was Gay; they acknowledged him, but closed their eyes and ears and went "la la la" in avoidance of the truth.

Ah. Thanks dude. The funny thing is, my mom even said, if we were ever gay, she'd be supportive, but not really like it. Well, she damn near fucking kicked me out of the house for wearing just eyeliner. It's ridiculous.
 
I wouldnt have reacted the way your mother did but I will say one thing if you ever said that to me I would have slapped your mouth that was totally disrespectful you dont speak to your parents that way no matter how mad you are. Whats wrong with you????? I say you go appologize to her right now.

I said it was a joke. I even said it in a non-serious tone. Which is why I didn't apologize. Hey, if she can be serious and call me gay and threaten to have a sex change done on me, I should be able to joke around and call her a lesbian.

Like it or not, you have an obligation to respect the wishes of your parents. I probably would not take too well to my own child wearing eye make-up, now granted, I do have a somewhat loving and tolerant way of dealing with things, but I do not allow disrespect in my home.

Man up and apologize to your mother Dodge.;)

I'm sorry dude, but like I said, in this case, I'm not apologizing. I don't see her reason for getting mad. I was laughing when I said it, she knew I was joking, and took that too far. We've joked about it with each other all the time, about her being a lesbian, about me being gay, etc. This is the ONLY time she's ever gotten mad about it.
 
I agree...she was upset thinking that maybe you really WERE gay and you came off with a lesbian joke....to her that was your way of avoiding answering if you were gay or not...just apologize! It will make her feel better!

Ok, to be honest, if she really was upset that she thought I was gay, that's even more of a reason to not apologize, because it contradicts everything she said before, about still loving us if we were gay or not.

But guys, this isn't about a lesbian joke, ok? She's already forgotten about it. Hell, she doesn't remember anything past breakfast.

No, it's not about a lesbian joke, it's about her son coming home wearing eyeliner and her motherly instincts kicking in...can you imagine what she felt at that moment?

Being anit-gay is motherly? Again, she said she'd be supportive and still love us if we were gay. If it really was because she thought I was gay, why'd she freak out? I just don't understand it. You can't be supportive and hate the person at the same time.
 
Just because she freaked about eyeliner doesn't make her anti-gay! To be frank with you, most parents say they will be supportive, then when it comes down to it, they freak out. It's just one of those things....ask someone here who is a parent how they would initially react to it.

If I would have ever called my mother a lesbian, my father would have fixed that joke for good...

I still think you owe her an apology, but...What do I know?

Let your conscience be your guide my friend;)
