Well I know a lot of people say that their parents seem slightly disappointed or maybe they were completely fine when they come out, but they still seem to think stuff is "gay" or they put these little hints out. And I have a little story about my mum. My mum is (honest to god), one of the loveliest people you will meet. I'm not bragging, it's a fact. She's really really nice, and she's a FIERCE defender of people she loves. So my mum works in a special school, and you'd think, since everyone there works with kids who are (in some cases), so disabled they don't even know where they are half the time, that people would be pretty accepting and cool with it. And Generally they are. But I think it was yesterday, that mum told me one of her workmates said something or other was "Gay". Here is how the convo between her and her workmate went. WM : Oh my god, are you really going to put those curtains up? Mum : Yes. Do you have a problem with that? WM : They're so GAY! Mum : Excuse me? WM : They're Gay. Mum : My daughter is gay. And if she were here she would absolutely snot you for that. Don't you ever say that again. Not around me. Not around anybody else. It's discrimination and I will make you go up to her and apologise to her face. WM : Oh...... ok. (walks off). So...yeah. Even though it may seem as though your parents don't care, they actually care shitloads about you....unless you're unfortunate enough to have family like WBC (or live in that sort of area), and in which case, I send you lots of love and hugs and prayers and I hope you get out of that situation alive and that you'll be fine. Just hang in there okay? Your parents do love you and will stick up for you. (hug time for everyone now) (&&&)(&&&)(&&&)(&&&)(&&&)(&&&)
I think so too....I think she'll be flattered... However, I will tell her you said that. And I'll let you know whether or not she decides to sign up **EDIT** Just asked. She said thank you very much but she doesn't really have time (which is true. She rushes around like a chook with it's head chopped off mostly.) But yeah. I think she's awesome too. And I'm sorry she's not joining up But oh well. I just wanted to let people know that your parents actually do care about you, even if they don't say it outright often.
