This is an IM conversation I had with a friend of mine recently. After getting out of a nine year relationship, she has begun to date again. We were discussing the new girl coming up for the weekend and then coming back to meet her parents. You'd think after nine years, her parents would be on to her.
MY FRIEND: she's here today and tomorrow
ME: oh reeeaaaaallly? omg...so she's coming up again?
MY FRIEND: yes, and then she's comin' back next Tuesday and Wednesday
ME: wow wow wow, nice!
MY FRIEND: to meet the parental units
ME: WHAT???????
MY FRIEND: so we'll see...don't want to wear her out
ME: She's meeting your parents??? Shut UP.
MY FRIEND: yes, she's meeting the parents. lol I told you I liked her
ME: ok - what do they know? that she's a girlfriend?
MY FRIEND: OH NO
ME: or are you, at FORTY, playing the "a friend" game?
MY FRIEND: just a friend so far...
ME: because that is LAME
MY FRIEND: LOL
ME: oh, c'mon, serious?
MY FRIEND: Gram is not ready, and I'm a LESBIAN
ME: do you think your parents fell off the turnip truck yesterday??
MY FRIEND: yes, I hope they did
ME: Don't they KNOW you're a lesbian???? Maybe it's time you tell them.
MY FRIEND: yes, they do know
ME: break the news to 'em
MY FRIEND: they've known forever
ME: I know, but you're acting like the don't KNOW
MY FRIEND: lol. so yeah, good point
ME: criminy!
MY FRIEND: okay, I guess I need to tell them that I'm dating her
ME: What are you going to tell them next? She's my "friend" and we might be "roommates" someday...
MY FRIEND: LMAO
MY FRIEND: asshole!!!!
ME: ...but we only have one bed.
ME: WTF?????

I'm trying really hard to remember the name of a recent movie that dealt with that topic.
It just hit me. Kissing Jessica Stein. A moment late in the movie between Jessica and her mom is very touching. No matter how much of a fuss politicians and "family values" people want to make, it's simply love. How can people not support that?
Anyway, great post. And my best to your friend and her "friend."
