I have a date Friday night but my problem is that my date is with another girl and my mom is very homophobic and this is my first date with someone of the same sex. How do I go about asking my mom for permission to go on the date without her flipping out?
Should I just act like the girl is just a friend?

Her own Mom grew up in a time when girls had girlfriends and no one wondered if the two were gay so if you let her know that you really want to go out and do something with your girlfriend, it should be fine. I went bowling or to movies with girl friends. My daughter went to dances with their female friends, all who were straight but had no guy ask them to the school dances. So it is common still for two girls to go out together. To cement in that she is a friend, have her come visit, but do not attempt to show any signs of affection that could be taken wrong if Mom should see. Once you are 18, you can do as you like and it will no longer matter if Mom approves or not. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
