My mother isn't taking it well...

I'm a lesbian. And I have been for as long as I can remember. I'm 17 now and I have my first girlfriend instead of just a crush on a girl and everything was going as planned. I was gonna get through this last year of high school and then take some time after school to figure out how to tell my mother and my step father. Well all that changed when my mother treated me to a haircut. I wanted it short, like REALLY short (I've had this style before, she thought it was cute) and she turns to me and says "you don't want it too short, right? I mean, you don't want to look like a lesbian do you?" (this is where I make a HUGE mistake) I say "...I dunno." she gets this weird look on her face and says "are you??". I never answered her, but she put the pieces together. She knew my girlfriend was already a lesbian then pieced it together with the fact we've been hanging out a lot and she just...knew. ( Now let me do a flashback, a long time ago one of my friends came out and her parents FREAKED. I told my mom about it and she told me "That's sad, a parent should never suddenly treat their kid like they did something wrong just because they are homosexual. If you ever turn out to be a lesbian I will support you 100%." With this in mind, I'd like to go back to my story) I got my hair cut the way I wanted it, and my mom was (for lack of a better word) pissed. The whole way home she used a tone that told me I was in for a world of hurt, and I was/am, I was heartbroken at the fact she reacted the SAME way my friend's parents did. and now I'm not allowed to see my girlfriend anywhere but school. My mom just keeps going on and on about how she's "disappointed" and that this is all just a "phase" I'm going through. I haven't stopped crying....

I think you should bring this story up to her, the fact about what she said about your friends parents.... tell her that shes not the only one hurting, that you are too. that you thought she said she would support you and obviously shes going back on what she said.
i do understand this though, in a way.... about 2 years ago, i came out to my mom, and last year, i actually introduced her to the girl i was currently with (bad luck with gfs... i kinda go threw them like water sadly.... ~not my choice, just sayin.~) my mom was a complete and TOTAL bitch to us during the week she was staying at my place. (It was a long distance relationship....) im with some one right now, and im scared to tell my mom im with her, cause i dont want her freaking out. she actually likes this person....so if she freaks out once i tell her im with her, shes going to be in for a long long night of screaming and fake tears (real tears, but i know i would be able to recover fast from this type of arguing... so yeah.) give them time after you talk with her some more. it is a process, as i said, i told mom, a year later i showed her my girl (ex now.), and right now we are at a stand still. *hugs you* Give her time. keep explaining to her that your not. and for one of my lesser greater ideas. start pointing out chicks you think are cute. (not really a good idea, but it might work in some cases...)
