You're so lucky. My parents confuse me. They're pretty mid-range in terms of everything, and there's this gay couple that's part of their usual group of friends, so I figured telling my mom I liked this girl would go over all right.
Wow, was I not expecting her reaction. I mean, she didn't kick me out or anything, or even get mad, but disappointed is almost worse than mad, you know? You're lucky to have cool parents.
Damn, now I'm on my gay rights soapbox. I'm going to go watch Obi Wan hit on Qui Gan Star Wars.
Oh man that so completely sucks. I wish everyone had rad, open-minded parents. That would be kickass.
Your mom sounds like those people who are like, "Being gay is okay, just as long as no one in my family is." As if that somehow makes it their "fault". Man, that is lame.
Dude, if that is a soapbox to you, you seeeeeeeeeeeeriously don't want to see MY gay rights soapbox. I believe I have this long, detailed rant about it in my memories. (Which, you know, thinking about it, I should update, because I have something to add to that rant.) It's crazy.
Being gay is okay, just as long as no one in my family is." Exactly. Actaully, she was like, "I just wanted grandkids."
Um, ok. Cuz I can't adopt or anything, and you don't have two other kids either.
And no, that wasn't my rant. I was leaving so I didn't go into it, because I've done that enough times. I really need to just type it up and save it somewhere, so I can just copy/paste whenever I need it.
