I'm angry
I'm angry as hell and it's not even angsty teen shit anymore.
I'm 37. I have kids. Most of which are gay/lesbian/trans...
I myself an bisexual.
My dad... who is on my fb... ran across a gay page I follow and saw my comments. Saw where my mom told my kids my coming out story. And my comment on how my mom gave my lesbian kid a tshirt with a rainbow.
My dad (who is in his 60s) acted completely unaware of these facts. I told him I share it all the time on my page. How could he not know. Then he went on a LONG post about how he knows I've always been supportive of the LGBTQ+ community but.... .... [long post about religion]
And I just.... lost it. I've been out for over 20yrs. I've dated women. There were pictures of me and my now ex girlfriends.
I POSTED PICTURES OF MY DAUGHTER AND HER GF!
I POSTED PICTURES OF MY TRANS KID AND SAID THEIR NEW NAME AMD PRONOUNS!
HOW DO YOU IGNORE ALL OF THIS AND JUST.....
What the hell is wrong with me? Why did I expect these people to have any understanding? And why oh why am I letting it get to me so deeply!?
Some people are just so caught up in their own world, they won't see what's in front of them.
My Grandfather was both conservative and really self centered (saw himself as the head of the family, clearly made a difference between his sons and his daughter etc) an my mom was never able to really get through to him, which made her both angry and sad......
