Default I am so proud of my family!

So I am not out to any of my family, but my very conservative, religious grandpa was visiting last week and I was just delighted when I heard him bashing a radio host for being "racist and homophobic." Then this week I found my brother and his friends planning a rally against the Westboro Baptist Church (of the God Hates Fags notoriety), since they are going to be in our city next week.

Plus I just celebrated my 18-month cancer-free anniversary and got a scholarship to my top-choice university for next year, so I am just altogether delighted right now.

Go you! And congrats for conquering cancer. *wishes there was a High-5 smilie*

Don't you love when people are totally supportive of gays? It gives me hope.

Wow, congratulations on all the blessings in your life right now!!
Good for your brother and his friends! I had to watch a video about the Westboro Baptist Church in school a few weeks ago and it made me so mad. Best of luck when you decide to come out to your family.

Congratulations on everything going alright, being cancer free is a very good thing as the longer you are free, the less likely it is to return! Btw, congratulations on the University scholarship!

I wish my family was like yours. Those Phelps idiots are banned from most of Europe, they are described as being dangerous to the stability of moral and ethical progress, lol. Tell your brother to give them hell! If they pull the 'God hates Jews' signs again, just tell them that Jesus himself was Jewish and that saying that God hates someone is AGAINST Jesus' teachings, that should shut them up!

Anyway enough off topic stuff! Congrats on all the good news!
