»le sigh, my grandma said some stuff to me today that kind of upset me. she keeps thinking being gay is a choice. she still loves and cares for me blah blah but she keeps saying that it's just a phase and she's seen many like it (which is *** imo). i'm apparently just confused and she believes that i'll make the right choice (and be straight) eventually because she doesn't want me to have to deal with the hardships of this lifestyle.
I am in the process of getting some of those arguments from my mother.
When I first came out to her she was fine with it, and me. 2 weeks later she was fine with me, not it.
Now (4 weeks or so) She says that I am her son, and will always love me, but I am choosing a lifestyle of sin and evil.
Bolded a part of Hohen's post which made me think of something that seems relevant. It actually is entirely possible that your grandma has "seen many like it." You'd be surprised how many "ex-gays" there are. These poor children get shipped off to camps where they are submitted to relentless emotional torture until they break down and learn to convince themselves that they've become straight - just to get their families to let them come home. This serves only to confirm their mistaken belief that homosexuality is a choice and can be actively changed. I know someone this happened to, it's really sad. :/
