Advice

So I just got my masters degree (yay) and graduation is in May.

Today my mother brought up flights and hotels for the ceremony and I’m suddenly stressed. I have a girlfriend that I’m very serious about but mother and I haven’t reached the point where we talk about my sexuality. My girlfriend will be at graduation so I figure the adult thing to do would be to finally try to come to an understanding but I don’t wannnaaaaaa (kicking and screaming).

For background, I was outed to her almost 5 years ago by an unidentified family member. An explosion of “you’re going to hell/I don’t believe you’re really like this/you were deceitful by not telling me” and the like followed. She denies most of her wrongdoing but we haven’t been on good terms nor have we really talked about it since but I live with her as of 4 months ago because I’m broke. She tries to be nice but she’s HELLA religious so the feelings of disapproval are still there.

Any advice on how to officially come out to my mother so that she won’t ruin my graduation when she sees my gf would be amazing.

FYI

100 level course prof: Usually an adjunct. Very smol and new to teaching. Lives with dept head up their butt and double checking everything they do

500 level course prof: Is presumed to be competent and is left alone to become the true agent of chaos all teachers yearn to be

[lesbianralzarek]

professors for higher level courses usually assume that if you’ve made it that far then you know a lot of the material already, give a shit about the subject, and have enough drive to learn this shit without them having to whip you into shape

homophobes are not allowed to use computers because the inventor of the computer was gay

[local-chibi-girl]

People think this is just a joke but Alan Turing was the inventor of the computer and his sexuality was illegal in his time (which was not even 100 years ago) and he was arrested. They put him on drugs that destroyed his genius brain and committed suicide a year after being covicted. He was gay and a war hero as well. He helped to break enigma which was a German code that they put all their messages through. He shorted WWII by two years and saved so many lives in the process.

Friendly reminder that if not for Alan Turing you wouldn’t be reading this post and we might be ruled by the nazis
