Homophobic boyfriend and Bisexual child

Hello all, so my boyfriend of two years who I live with, has become very vocal about the fact people should not be gay/trans or what ever it may be that makes someone different from him. A few days ago he aggressively called Harry Styles a freak for being open about his sexuality and dressing how he does. He said this in front of one of my sons.

My 21 year old son who doesn't live at home any more is pansexual, and my other 13 year old son (the one who witnessed the Harry Stles bashing) I think is also and has also loved in the past dressing in girls clothes and experimenting with different styles like that.
I'm completely supportive of anyone's lifestyle I myself am bisexual.

I just can't shake the heartbroken feeling that my children will pick up on my partners hate for it and it will deter them from coming to speak to me in the future Or make them feel like they can't be who they want to be.

I'm seriously considering ending things with my Partner over this as it's something I feel I can't let slide.

Has anybody experienced this before And overcome the issue?

Thanks x

If he's homophobic and your bisexual he's never going to respect you, and certainly never going to respect your kids. LTB.

Of course you should dump him.

My ex came out with the most horrendous homophobic, sexist, and racist bullshit and it caused so many arguments. But I was also being abused by him and couldn't see a way to make him leave. I don't know how he managed to hide his views from me for so long, maybe because he knew I didn't agree with him and waited until we were settled with a kid to show his true colours...

DD is 6 now anyway and he still criticises my parenting on these issues. DD had mentioned not wanting to marry a boy when she grows up. I said "You don't have to. You could marry a girl, of not get married at all. Lots of people aren't married."

DD told her dad "mummy said I could marry a girl" and he sent me abuse over text saying I'm fucked up and trying to make her think these things are "OK".

He would abuse me about the fact I am a white woman who has had sexual relations with black men in the past.

Honestly, I am dreading the abuse I will get if DD ever decides to date a black person. Because it will be "all my fault" in his warped mind.

Please get out now!!! Don't let your children be witness to this. Why would you want to date someone who could hate your children for what they are??

Are you really debating this? FFS the bf needs to go.

No one here is bashing anyone. He’s bashing gay people. You’re currently standing by letting it happen. Nothing about him compensates for this side of him. Sad you think it might

I couldn't be with someone like that.
Get rid of him.

Stop defending him.

His attitude is unacceptable. Personally, my children would always come first. Why would you want to be with a person like him anyway? You sound incompatible.

I would absolutely 100% be putting my children above someone who thinks that my children and I are abnormal freaks.

You're bisexual with a homophobe boyfriend? Raise the bar!

Exactly this.

CoastalWave · 03/07/2022 13:48

Seems odd. Why would someone so openly like this be dating a bisexual? Does he not know you're bisexual?

You don't sound a good match. Surely this level would have come up before in a 2 yr relationship?! Makes no sense.
