How do I introduce my gay boyfriend to my parents?

[bad kid 8P]

I'm 18, and I came out as gay to my parents three months ago and they're slowly becoming more comfortable with it. They said they still loved me but they wish I was straight. For the first few weeks, they would try to set me up with girls and I would just decline politely. They've made progress though! Yesterday, they said having a gay son isn't so bad (lol). Well, I have a boyfriend and I think he should meet my family. They should meet him too because I want them to be part of my life.

But as soon as I introduce him, they'll immediately think "so this is the guy who made our son gay." I know it sounds stupid but it's what they'll think. But he's really special to me. He's funny, smart, caring, and VERY cute. We actually met at this LGBT pride parade in our city and we were both alone and decided to hang out together. He's an AWESOME guy and if he was a girl, I'm sure they would love him. And if they see how happy he makes me, then they would come around. So how do I warm them up to the idea of him coming over for dinner?

Suprise may be best. Just randomly bring him home one day..and be all like.. "Mom, Dad, this is *insert name* !! He's my boyfriend." You never know, they might be cool...

Why not just introduce him as your friend. The way you interact with him will tell what "kind" of friend. After they meet a few of your "friends" then come forward with the "boyfriend" title.

Also, don't worry about how they will blame him. If he makes you feel special when you are with him, that is all that matters.

If your parents already know you are gay why not just tell them that you would like for them to meet your boyfriend and suggest a time when you will bring him home to visit. Since your parents are still getting used to your sexuality, it would be more respectful to let them know rather than surprising them with him. Good Luck to you. I am sure it will be fine.

just bring him over and be like "mom dad this is so and so......so and so these are my parents"

well, parents take a while to accept that their child is "different than the social norm" so it's good that they accept it at all. i would just bring him home one day for a nice family dinner and they may think weird things at first, but they'll get used to it. it just takes them some time
