So, your girlfriend said her mother is crazy, passive-aggressive, homophobic, jealous. Most Mormon women I know are all these things. But, the red flag here, is that the daughter has no love or respect for her mother.
You have know the girl only 4 months. She is only 21. She is probably rushing things. Many Mormon women use sex to lure a man, so watch out for that. They will do anything to get a husband. By your writing, you are probably a "catch" and can find someone much better suited. You don't want your own future family to be dysfunctional, do you?
Most Mormon families are dysfunctional.
The posters are correct, who warn you that the Mormon church always comes FIRST in the lives of its members.
Another warning, is that Mormons are not Christians. They do not teach unconditional love. One of the leaders, in a recent speech said, "Unconditional love is anti-christ." I was raised in a high-ranking Mormon family, and I was taught that I had to EARN the love of my parents, and EARN the love of God, by being obedient. There was no love in my life, except outside the church. (I had great non-Mormon friends, and lived in an amazing little university town.) My parents did not love me, or my siblings.
RUN! End the relationship now! Mormons are taught from childhood in the techniques of manipulation! Hence, the "passive-aggressive" mother. That 21-year-old Mormon knows just what to say and do to pull your strings. The posters are correct, that she and her family will try to recruit you into their cult.
RUN, because of the cult thing.
Who cares if the father is gay? This might just be idle curiosity on your part, but I suspect it is an excuse to exit the relationship. When you find out about the secret Mormon practices and beliefs (for example, polygamy in heaven, baptism for the dead, the body anointing ritual for the dead, paying 10% of your income to help build malls and resorts, etc) the gay thing won't be an issue. Craziness is an issue!
Good luck to you in finding a new, normal girlfriend very quickly.
