[quote=Anonymous]Are they willing to be coached? Can the grands all agree to just shelve ANY talk about her sexuality at all while she's there? Your DD knows they have some messed up views, right? Can you prep her with things she's likely to hear, and tell her what YOU think about those things, so she knows she has an ally? She's probably known she's gay for awhile, and has already heard their conservative banter, so she knows it's out there already, right? Talk with her about it. I would use this time to help arm her with tools for navigating a gay-unfriendly place. If her grandparents are loving, but a bit clueless, some simple phrases like "grandma, that hurts my feelings" can be very powerful. She doesn't need to argue, but arming her to stop conversations she doesn't like might be useful. If these grandparents are going to try to "change her mind" or something like that, she shouldn't be left with them unsupervised.[/quote]
