My father.... just came up to me.... and started a conversation about how he saw the movie Milk on tv a few days ago.... and I'm like, oh cool that movie was amazing...
Somehow... we got into the topic of... why people hate the gays
My father literally said that "the gays" have a problem with rampant sex, and that's why a lot of people wont accept them. Also that he must be correct and gays are having sex all the time because they all have AIDS.
Even if there is any truth behind his words... the way he said it, as if gay people were sexual deviants who needed to be stopped... I just... I.... don't want to live anywhere near this man ever again...
He went on to say that even if he believes in leaving people alone to do whatever they want, he doesn't have to agree with it or not be disgusted by it. He basically came upstairs to have a conversation with me about how much he gets grossed out about the gays and how he doesn't like them... really father, really?
He KNOWS how I feel about this stuff, I even said I thought Milk was a great movie... yet he casually goes about insulting and degrading gay people as a whole, including the movie, right to my face. It hurt me that he things what he's saying is okay, that he isn't even trying to be mean, that he thinks he's SOOOO PROGRESSIVE... when really he's nothing but scum...
I can't WAIT to get off to college and bring me back a woman and shove it in ALL of their faces...
Also, mother was fantastic to me... she talked to me until I felt better... plus she explained her beliefs on homosexuals, which was a lot better than his. She thinks they are people, they are normal, they are not committing a crime or anything. It grosses her out a little bit, but so does the fact that the French don't shave. She accepts that it isn't WRONG, and thats the first step. Also, because she has me as a daughter (tehe), she says she actually waves on the issue of gay marriage.... my mother, the crazy religious lady is now WAVERING on the issue? How fantastic, I'm really starting to wear her down, mwahaha...
Well anyway, I just needed to end on a slightly happier note... cuz what father said didn't just make me angry, it made me really sad, and made my stomach feel sick >.<

I don't even know what to say to that.
Meh, that's exactly the kind of thing I'd figure him to say. There's people like that, I met a bunch of homophobes in boot camp. You can't change them. But that's really cool how your mom accepts gay people and gay marriage. I'd expect her to be totally conservative about that kind of thing. Haha, maybe she's a little cooler than I thought.
