It shows that she's not listening to you if you've been telling her this all along. She's lacking trust in you.
Anyway, you're right; the way you live your life doesn't directly reflect your sexuality. AND, someone's sexuality does NOT directly relate to the way they live and the morals they uphold.
Keep trying to talk to her; if you don't feel like she is listening to you, you can consult with other adults who can talk to her (adults tend to listen to adults more than their kids). [ keolablue's advice column | Ask keolablue A Question ]

But the thing is giving you a talk about ' I don not want you to date a girl' is truly harsh. Girls can like girls - many do, and its just a natural part of life, so nobody should feel ashamed of that, its just down to personal preference. Just tell her, nicely, calmly, if she does this again, that you feel offended when she says these things to you, as you don't want to change for her, as you are you, you have your own opinions, own style - and you don't want to be changed because you are happy with yourself. I think you should let her know that you are hurt and worried about what she thinks of you, and that - in fact - you like being you, the way you are :).

Your mother should just love you for who you are, not who you have a crush on. Tell her that it hurts your feelings when she comes to you with her speech on dating a girl. If she doesn't want to believe you, or respect your wishes, then she should really just mind her own business until she can respect yours. As far as having friends that are girls, girls are very catty I find. They only like their kind for the most part, so find some chicks you can relate to, it's hard to do that at school and stuff where everyone can be so judgemental. It's rough, but good luck. I hope I helped. ~Love Angel [ Anq3L_xO's advice column | Ask Anq3L_xO A Question ]
