It's really sad to see all the gay people in here with homophobic parents. I feel like a lot of my cousins that live in Minnesota are but not the family I regularly see.
Its actually sort of good if you think about it because hopefully the parents will open their eyes and become educated and by them becoming more accepting of everyone then they will spread the positiveness to others
Most of my extended family is homophobic, it's disgusting.
I've always wondered what my other family would think about it and I get annoyed when I hear them or other people say "That's gay" so damn annoying @_@. Someone from my school wrote an article on it and said that we wouldn't say "Thats Chinese" or "Thats Italian" so
My mom's not. I came out to her back in '08. She said she already knew.
My dad is. He's from the Virgin Islands,so that might have something to do with it. He knows I'm gay, found out when I was really young, but still refuses to believe it after all these years.
My dad used to be but he's more accepting of it now. I think he was jsut more uncomfortable around them more than being a homophobe but still.
My mom NEVER was though. She's had shitloads of gay friends and they'd come over all the time, which is how I knew my dada wasn't comfortable around them since he'd never be in the house or would only say hi to them and that was it.
Plus she's always been open in her gay rights support as far back as I can remember.
