I love & support my daughter who is a lesbian. Republicans hate her, want her to be denied equal rights, say she's going to burn in hell, imply my wife & I somehow "groomed" her, call her sick & twisted, and demand their hateful bigoted churches continue to benefit from not paying taxes.

I mean, good luck, but this feels like a huge waste of energy.

I too am the father of a gay daughter. It sickens me that she has to even hear the filth that conservatives spew about this. It’s none of their business, and my family’s freedom and happiness are infinitely more important than their misguided “beliefs”.

The “meet in the middle” point between hating gay people and not hating gay people isn’t “only hate on odd days of the week”, it’s “don’t hate gay people”.

Edit: autocorrect likes changing gay to gray, which is somehow sad.

If by groomed they mean I beg her to clean her damn bedroom, yup I’m a groomer lol. Christ. Why should I extend my hand to those who want to cut it off? They should change their hearts, I’m not moving a muscle.

I have two. One has a room that I’ve threatened to call 1-800-GOT-JUNK on because it was unsafe for human habitation. The other (the one who is gay) has a room that could be featured in Better Homes & Gardens. Sisters… always an adventure.

And, I’m right there with you. They need to change, or die off and let the youngsters fix all of this.

MAGAs are worried about gay and trans people “infecting” their kids, which is nonsense, and think that measures to stop actual infections are serious abridgments of civil rights.

How do you reason with that?
