Adults should make it easier for them. Unfortunately, some people do not.

They teach their kids to harbor prejudice and miss out on so many good things. Couples often have divergent interests and perspectives on life, but their core values are usually shared.

The same can be said for their attitude toward the LGBTQ+ community. The fact that the boy has two mothers caused a couple to break up since the girl didn't want her parents to know, believing it would make them uncomfortable.

The Original Poster (OP) ThrowRAhelplost is a 17-year-old raised by two moms. He has been dating his girlfriend for seven months, and they actually became a couple during the lockdown.

As they had been dating for quite some time, the girl's parents wanted their families to meet when it was safe to do so. This was not a problem for the OP or his moms, but the obstacle was that the girlfriend never mentioned to her parents that her boyfriend is not from a traditional family.

We have to say that we agree with Redditors who believe that OP should tell his moms about the whole issue. Yes, they may be sad, but it will be overshadowed by the immense pride they will feel knowing that they’ve raised a boy who is brave enough to stand by his beliefs and puts his family first.

We can tell you – people like that are much rarer than boys with two moms.
