I'm asking my gf parents for their blessing (proposal) need advice

My gf and I have been dating for a year and a half and we want to get engaged. We have talked about how we wabt the proposal to go and she wants me to ask her parents first. I have no doubt that when I propose she will say yes, but I do have doubt her parents will give me their blessing.

Some background, when she came out to her parents it didnt go well. She was 19 and going through a breakup of a 3 year relationship they had no idea about. Her dad didnt talk to her for days, and her mom tried to be supportive but kept bringing up their Christian beliefs.

Its been 3 years since then and even though they love me as a person, they still struggle with the gay thing. They try to be supportive but whenever talk about moving in together or marriage is brought up they get very quiet.

Im so nervous and have no idea what to say. I need advice from people that get it. My family doesn't get it because they are accepting but have never had to deal with someone not accepting their relationship because of homophobia.
