You’re overreacting for this scenario. Your parents are clearly interested in your life and it’s a grad party, it’s not that deep.

If you tell them something super personal and they’re sharing it/questioning you on it, then it’s valid to be upset. But it’s pretty clear your parents just love you, so let them

Idk I mean I’m gay and my mom asks me about boys all the time, I don’t think it’s disrespectful, it’s just playful, parents just like to be involved in their kids lives. My mindset is that if having to deal with a mom who wants to playfully bully me about boys when I’m gay is the thing that annoys me most about her, I’m insanely lucky

There’s nothing in this post that really suggests that they’re actively uncomfortable with him being gay. If he doesn’t go to girl’s parties very much or doesn’t tell them anything (as he claims), then it’s fair for them to ask. Also his post is extremely pessimistic for no reason. They’re asking questions about a party, so they must think he never gets invited anywhere? They ask about this girl, so they must not think he’s gay? It all seems like a projection of insecurity
