>Aside from the obvious irony in sexuality, she seems to think my boyfriend is a beard and that we’re using polyamory as a cover up. Mostly because she thinks I can’t woman up and admit that I’m gay after all I said to her.

She is invalidating your feelings and telling you your sexuality doesn’t exist. That’s also kinda homophobic.

>It finally came to a head one day when she and my mom were at the house and she ended up telling my partners that I’m basically a poser and homophobic (they already knew about how I was a s****y kid to her). This

Because of something you did when you were ten years old? What the actual f? How can she be this petty and childish as a grown woman?

>but now my mom is telling me that I should have tried to keep the peace to show her wife I’ve changed. But it’s been over 15 years and I have apologized and admitted to my wrongdoings.

Your mom and your stepmom are both TA. Also ten years old are little s****. Still bringing this event up fifteen years after is childish, petty and plain wrong. I’d go NC with them.
