I (15F) want to introduce my BF (17M) to my parents, should I?

r/

Hi, this is my first time doing this, sorry if i dont make sense, english is not my first language.

My bf (17M) and I (15F) have been dating for around a month, it’s my first relationship and it’s very fresh. I’ve already met his friends and we’ve even hung out together a few times. The thing is his parents aren’t accepting of our relationship bc of his biological gender and his orientation. He has told me that the day he asked me to be his girlfriend his mother told him “you disgust me, but i know that wont stop you”. Meeting his parents and being allowed in his house is not on the table, not only bc they dont accept the relationship, but also bc i’ve grown a resentment towards them bc of the things they say and do to him. Because of this, ive been thinking about presenting him to my parents, so we could have a safe and relatively private place to hang out. Apart from this, i would like to show him that at least one pair of parents are accepting of us. Although i know my parents arent the best with trans people, theyve been more accepting than i expected (treating him with masculine pronouns and respecting his identity) My question is; is it too early still for this idea? should i wait longer? IS it a good idea?

TL;DR:My bfs parents aren’t accepting of his identity, we can’t meet in his house, only outside of it. I want to introduce him to my parents but its only been 1 month of relationship. Should I?

    If you like him and are interested in pursuing a relationship with him, I’d say to go for it. You know your parents better than any of us, so ultimately you’d be the best judge of their reaction.
