She has never actually said anything, but there's a pattern

I brought her a calendar from work and she cut a small piece of sticker just to cover up a rainbow on a "All Are Welcome" that is on all work correspondence.

I had a can of the Peace Tea flavor that says "Love Is Love" on it and it found its way to the back of the cupboard.

I have a shirt with stripes of pride colors on the front that curiously gets lost in the wash for months if I don't wash it myself or sneak it into a load.

Also from work, I have one of those adhesive card holders you stick on your phone that's in rainbow colors. I once left my phone on a table face down and came back to it flipped over so the rainbow was hidden.

I don't know what to do at this point. It's not just her fucking house. I tolerate Christian iconography.

This is what you should do.
  • Double down on LGBTQ+ iconography. Put gay stickers on her stuff just to see if she likes it.
  • Always turn on gay shows like Will & Grace or RuPaul's Drag Race.
  • Play and sing gay-friendly songs 24/7.
  • Invite gay friends to come and visit you often.
  • Always remind your mom about Bible quotes that undermine her bigoted views like Matthew 7:1-3.

She cut a piece of a label from somewhere and stuck it over this little rainbow colored box. She literally made the effort to size it exactly.

I'm an adult, bud. I split the rent and other bills evenly with her and my siblings.

She refuses to accept it the couple of times I've tried to tell her I'm LGBTQ. I have heard her say that "no way that isn't a choice". She gets free magazines in the mail from some miserable evangelical fucks who run articles about how the Republicans are finally fighting back on abortion against the godless Democrats, or how this rampant popularity of the LGBT fad proves how far we are straying from His Light.

And? That doesn't say if you're renting it from her or not.
Even if it's a shared housing situation, in homes there's often one person who's renting it out to everyone despite splitting the bills.

An adult with experience in the real world would know that lmao

You can just tell me you hate LGBTQ people instead of trying to tell me what my living situation is.

We moved, to a house, owned by a third-party landlord, and we split the bills, evenly.

I think your only option is to escalate matters to where she can no longer be passive about it. Sexually explicit images of naked men doing things with other naked men. Maybe print out a picture of Jesus, except he's not colored accurately and is instead illustrated using rainbows. Defy her to cover up Christ himself.

I love Rainbows, they have so much meaning to me, seeing natural ones after a rainstorm would motivate me to go outside and walk around when I was jobless and depressed, heh, as a I kid I had this fantasy about following the rainbow to see where it was coming from, who was making it and what powers they held, then mugging them for the powers so I could make rainbows whenever I wanted, around that time I learned about prisms and how if you shined a line through them a rainbow would come out and wanted one for myself but couldn't find it.

Weird enough the LGBT flag just makes me hungry for ice cream, anyway the point is things mean different things to people but I'm sure you guys already knew that and so my rant was meaninglesss, I'll go now

Throw her garbage magazines away or tear them up, and when she asks why say "no way covering up an innocuous sign of love and peace and disrespecting your child's sexuality isn't a choice " or something like that. If she's disrespecting your stuff, then disrespect hers back. Sorry to hear that you're stuck with an anti-choice and anti-lgbt religious zealot as a mother. Don't let her hate stop you from being you though.

I don't want to move out. I like this house. I don't want to live in some tiny shithole apartment or move in with random stranger roommates. Everyone would have to move if I left. Plus, there is still a familial connection. My mom loves me in her own way. If I push this and she's monstrous about it, that might change, but it's hard to abandon family. I stood with everyone when our father walked out, so I've already cut off one parent. That ordeal is what forced us to move and start sharing rent. The divorce also kind of pushed my mom towards these more evangelical Christians. She was Catholic for almost 50 years.
