Sh*t my mom says

Here is a collection of funny shit my mom said on our first (extremely awkward) phone conversation after I came out to her:

• Mom: I mean, I wouldn't choose for you to have red hair, because they tend to have it harder in life. But if you were born a redhead I would love you just as much.
• Me: I might go to the bar to watch the baseball game tonight.
  Mom: Are you going to a gay bar? ....Am I allowed to tease you about it a little?
• Me: I remember when you were really into the Indigo Girls. And I thought "Hmm if Mom loves the Indigo Girls so much, does that mean she's a lesbian too?"
  Mom: I liked their music!
  Me: I know, but I was a kid.
  Mom: I also like Melissa Etheridge.
  Mom: I even like me some Ani DiFranco music. I took my gay women friends from work to her concert.
• Me: I didn't know you had gay women friends.
  Mom: Well that's because we don't run around saying "I'm gay!" "I'm straight!"

And my favorite, because I didn't even know she KNEW who this was:

• Me: I kissed a girl in college once.
  Mom: Did you like it, Katy Perry?
