I know this is a wee bit off-topic but what exactly is it that your family have against us Scots?

To White_Daisy -
I feel bad about the situation you are in, I really do. I think you deserve respect for even considering to try and explain the situation to your family. Noone in my family ever talks about anything - if there's an issue everyone just ignores it and hopes it'll go away - so I hope that you can all talk it through and work something out.
I am really in no position to give you advice here. If I were in your situation I would just pretend that I didn't have a boyfriend and pray that my family never found out about him.
As most regular Chit-Chatters already know, I am gay but I've never told my family. I don't have a girlfriend at the moment but if I did there's no way in Hell I'd ever introduce her to my family! My parents would - literally - kill me! I'd never even consider telling them. I think you are very brave for even considering telling your relatives about your boyfriend, knowing how they may react.
I wish you the best of luck with the whole thing.

You mean, any other mix of Irish, German-Irish, Irish-American, Italian-Irish, they wouldn't have a problem with, but only Scotch-Irish? Hm
