Sometimes they accept you for who you are until the moment you take it "too far." Once you bring up things like marriage or whatever else happens to be the puritan heresy of the month, they lash out harshly against you. They accepted you and tolerated you as a second class citizen, how dare you breach your station and ask for rights you shouldn't have, et cetera.
How dare they care about their families, and want to their line to continue! How dare they fear for their daughters safety, as lesbian relationships have the highest incidence of domestic violence, how dare they think there are things in life more important than what makes your genitals tingle.

Yes, how FUCKING DARE you place your hope of future grandkids over the happiness of the individual standing in front of you.
That is, like, neyond selfish, projecting your desires onto another, making your wishes their responsibility.
How dare they care about their families, and want to their line to continue!
Unless they’re planning to get somebody to rape their gay daughter attacking the person they love, attempting to invalidate their relationship, making a point of excluding them from the legal benefits that could support a family if they consider the artificial insemination or surrogacy route, and trying to turn society itself against them so that they never know a moment’s peace and their life is a never-ending misery of pain and judgement with undue hardship piled on at every turn whose only escape is to submit to a different kind of eternal misery and deep personal violation hoping at best to become emotionally dead isn’t really going to improve the chances of that happening. And if they are everything you just said about caring about their well being is clearly a bunch of disingenuous bullshit you hope serves to manipulate the emotions of people who aren’t quite so lacking in emotion or basic decency as you while hoping they don’t actually think about the implications like I did.
There is also no shortage of kids in desperate need of adoption into loving families. You want grandkids? Then see the relationship between your own kids and their significant others is a happy and stable one free of duress or animosity so they’re comfortable adopting children of their own into a loving home creating a bond thicker than blood. Blood apparently meaning so little to you that your child is a sexual bargaining tool to service a name rather than the treasure whose happiness is irreplaceable. Maybe if you did that instead of trying to be monsters you’d not only get grandkids but they’d actually be happy to spend time together as a family and not cut you out of their lives entirely seeing you as a threat to them.
Love evidently means something entirely different to you people, as you can only see relationships as one of two deranged extremes: Utterly detached sexual gratification alone which you imagine as a pattern of addict-level hedonism consuming every waking moment prioritized above basic necessities of living or a means of producing children to continue a chain of obligation devoid of free will. Emotional bonds clearly meaning nothing in either case because you fail to grasp them at a fundamental level. You only understand shallow effect, adherence to norms even if it requires coercion, cardboard cutouts of love and family. You hypocrites make me sick.
Apart if you are a Royal family wanting to have spare heirs for the throne because you don’t a succession war, forcing your descendents to have progeny for purposes is not a good and moral idea.
Second, lesbians (and gays in general) aren’t doing it for purposes of sexual gratification but because they feel they feel better in relationships with someone of the same sex; moreover, bisexual persons feel both genders are acceptable for relationships.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
