So I was talking to my mom earlier today and I don't know how we segued to the topic, but she said

"I hope you find a nice girl and have kids one day."

At that point, I could feel my blood pressure start to rise. I may have been a little bit angry and I was gonna let it go, but I couldn't help but ask if she forgot that I was gay. Her response - "Eh, you never know. You might meet a girl and say 'This is the one, I want to marry her'. After that, I told her that in no uncertain terms would I marry a woman. Do I find a woman pretty or beautiful? Yes, but that does not mean I am sexually attracted to them. At that point, I was just seeing red and decided to make up some excuse so I could get off the phone before we both said something we regretted. Now I'm so distraught I feel like I just want to cry. I've had this feeling for a while, but I think my mom is homophobic.

Is that just me blowing the situation out of proportion? Straight parents, do you secretly have hopes that your son will marry a nice girl one day and give you grandchildren?

Side note - I feel like I also need to develop thicker skin because people are gonna say what they say and me dwelling on it is not mentally healthy.

​

Edit - Thank you all so much for trying to help me and imparting some wisdom as people who have been through similar situations. I really appreciate it.
