My Aunty shared this today (one of dad’s younger sisters)

It shouldn’t affect me.

But it does.

I still shake each time I read his hatred and ignorance. I can’t help it.

I’m glad I’m nothing like him.

Edit: I just had a bit of a cry, but I’m managing to compose myself for now, just reminding myself that this shit has gone on for far too long and isn’t worth my tears.

Soooo moronic. My bosses are big time homophobics and it just makes my blood boil. It seems to me that a lot of straight men from that kind of era have a really hard time accepting gays.

I can't believe your last two entries refer to the year 2015! Are we going back in time? Unreal! Your father is a total moron, sorry he upset you. Take care,

You can't fix stupid. Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, though.

But that doesn't even make sense.... I'm so confused.

I'm sorry he hurts you so much, but I'm glad that you still can feel, if that makes sense. It doesn't look like he'll ever change, so I guess it all boils down to a choice between shutting him completely out (which might mean shutting out your Mom, too) or just trying to avoid the topic altogether with him and trying your best to enjoy any time you have left with him.

My mother doesn't approve of being gay, and she always said it was a choice, but, strangely enough, she never JUDGED me on it. She thinks it's not right, but she loves me anyway. I wish everyone who had parents who didn't approve were as lucky as I am.
