I came out to my mom about three years ago, but she seems to be in some sort of denial. It's strange, when I came out to her she was really happy to be my confidant, and proud that I had the courage to come out. She's always been very supportive of the LGBT+ community, and even vocally protested the idea of the rainbow flag being banned in my hometown. She's supportive of my friends that are a part of the community, as well as family members, close and distant. She seems to be really supportive of me too whenever talk about myself in that way.
However, whenever she talks about relationships with me, whether in groups or in private, she doesn't seem to acknowledge me being gay... at all. Today she was talking to me about the possibility of me meeting a girl when I set off for college in September, and I told her that she didn't have to worry about that. She insisted that I never know, to which I responded that I had no interest in girls. Needless to say, the rest of the conversation was focused on potential girlfriends and future wives. This is a constant occurrence. I've told her a few times about me being gay, but I don't want to have to continuously come out to her every time we talk.
I'm not sure how to go about this. Being gay is a part of who I am, and I want my mother to actually acknowledge that part of me. That being said, I don't foresee any relationships in my near future, or really at all - so is there any point in me trying to get my mom to start acknowledging my sexuality, or should I just let her blissfully continue to believe that I'm straight. I want her to be accepting of every aspect of who I really am, but at the same time, it doesn't really matter when I'm always single. Does that make sense? Has anyone else been in this position before?
For reference, I am completely out of the closet. Everyone close to me knows.
