My mom still calls my boyfriend, "friend" 

&amp;nbsp;

"How is your friend doing?" 

"Mom, you know he is not my friend, right?"

"So, how is he doing!?" 

&amp;nbsp;

My mom, while not homophobic, still doesn't face it completely, but she accepts me and has been supportive, coming out to her was most likely the most difficult thing I had to do.
