Well Guys, I went to my family gathering last night & had a great night, I wore my Rainbow Pride Bracelets, but still remained in the Closet, I had quite a bit to drink & I was talking to my Favorite Uncle, I asked him what would he do if one of his Grandchildren came up to him & he Said "I would disown them & cut them off, being Queer is just wrong" :wow: I was not expecting that, I knew he was Homophobic, but he loves his Grandchildren, he has such a close bond with them! I love my Uncle & wouldn't want to lose him, I guess coming out to him, is a definite No No :icon_sad: On a lighter note, some cute Guys were present & I got to check them out, one had an exceptionally nice Ass :badgrin:
Thanks for the update. Well, see it as a positive balance. One bad guy and a lot of nice ones, right? Don't you just love it when cute guys have a nice ass? I hate it when they say things like "it's just wrong". It means it is indoctrinated and they don't even question it.
I think disowning someone is really extreme, sure itll take people time to come to terms with it, but disowing?!. I'm so sorry, about your uncle But hey you got to check out some nice guys Look on the plus side x
I was looking forward to hearing how your evening went DB, but your Uncle's opinion is puke worthy. sorry. Any pictures of the 'nice ass'
Sorry about what your uncle said, DB. I think it's possible that he'll come around... also, I'm thinking if he said that only because he knows his grandkids are straight and didn't really think about it in a... realistic way? You know what I mean? Am I making sense? I don't think I know what I meant anymore. Here's a hot guy instead. Feel better?
Well I feel better and I wasn't even sad I suspect I know what you mean. People are generally more homophobic before they find out a family member is lgbt because they are forced to confront the fact that a person they consider to be good has a trait they consider to be bad, and they must either decide that being lgbt isn't so bad, or they must decide their relative is bad. Okay, I don't think I made that sound any easier to understand than you did.
Yes, that's exactly it! Because they already love the person, so it becomes more a question of 'well, does this really change how I feel about them?', I think.
I think there's, usually, a difference between what people say they'll do and what they actually do, in situations like that. While I don't know for sure, I think your uncle would probably come around.
I don't know about the UK's laws, but it seems to me that if a relative is far enough removed, marriage is legal. At least for straight marriages. Not that I'd be inclined to pursue that. One reason for getting married is to get into another family for those times your family drives you nuts! But also people who aren't family, but close friends, might show up at family events.
