My girlfriend seems like she is scared to have baby.

I'm a 25 year old girl and my girlfriend is 22 we have been dating for 3 years and we have talked about having a family but her parents are mormons so they dont accept the idea of her being gay and they never want to talk about it, when we go visit them we have to sleep in different rooms we are pretty much like just friends, I mean they are gre at with me they take me out to eat and movies they even buy me things but if I was just a family friend, my girlfriend is afraid to do anything infront of them to even sit next to me, but when we are alone we talk about having kids but she wont sit next to me on the couch how is she gonna tell them we are going to have a baby??? They know we are together but will never accept it cause of their religion her dad is also the bishop.lol what should I do?

    Gay people shouldn't have kids. It's not really flattering for a child to tell people about his/her two mommies or two daddies.

    By the way, my whole Dad's side of the family is Mormon, and his sister(my aunt) is a Lesbian. I've met her girlfriends, and much like you they just act like friends around family.

    Homosexuality is typically frowned upon in the Mormon religion, but Mormons are also very loving and forgiving people. Especially towards family.

    I've never heard of my gay aunt having expressed interest in adopting children, but if she has she never did it, and since she is in her 40s now I doubt she ever will.

      You have a screw loose, if two people love each other and want to share that love with another, and that other happens to be a child / Infant without a home and without being loved, then do your think that child cares anything about who loves them??

      I'm not gay, but I do honestly think that regardless of sexual orientation that we are all capable parents. If the stupid ass republicans have their way and they repeal a woman's right of choice and abortion is made illegal and America is then plagued with a cornucopia of unwanted babies that the Republicans have no idea what to do with, someone will need to take care of thees babies and if same sex couples want to adopt the god bless them.

      Live and let live!

        I'm thinking of the children. I've heard of and read cases of children from same sex parents bullied a lot.

    Man, I'm sorry.

    I'm a Mormon and believe me, some of us really have the wrong idea when it comes to homosexuality. It's difficult to understand unless you have been there and many truly straight people just can't fathom the concept, so they throw it away. Being that it is frowned upon in this religion (sadly) being that Dad is the bishop, he is probably embarassed. The Bishop should have the model family, and to the more conservative Mormons (which are the marjority, only 15% of us being progressives), a gay daughter is not a model family.

    Keep on keeping on. I believe that if the two of you are committed and have the baby, that the baby will do well. Even a good conservative Mormon has more value for children and the family rites than to just allow their grandchildren to suffer because their parents didn't "choose the right" as they say. It'll be a difficult journey, and progressiveness has only begun to slowly penetrate the church, but if they are true and good Christians, they will learn to love and accept the two of you. If not, the cross is solely on their shoulders.

    I think gay people should have the same right to be able to raise a child and have a family just like a heterosexual couple... Why discriminate against us? Love is love regardless!!! If she cant grow balls and be who she wants to be then I'm gonna have to move forward without her I'm sick of always hiding.

    I have friends that are gay couples and have children and I have not hear any of them being bullied.. if you really read about it most of the kids being bullied are the ones with heterosexual parents!
