  • I read every  comment and every single one has valid points. I completely agree with randy, it’s not a southern thing it’s a human thing, and deadstars about it being a different generation, I believe that too.  I am so bad at confrontation that unless I’m backed into a corner with no chance of getting out of one, I will find a way to avoid it, so confrontation is not really my first choice of things to do.  I’m not so frustrated that I can’t let it go until next time.  If he brings it up again I will, with respect, tell him to “get a grip”. Then start naming names and ask him if he or I should stop loving them now that he knows their gay.  I know he can’t stop loving them, so that will allow me to also ask him if we should be allowed to tell them who they can love.  As if a person has a choice.  I personally can’t imagine anyone in the world with Fred other than Marcus.    So maybe that will get him to thinking.  Also knowing that I care so deeply about these people in my life will stop him from saying anything more.  Just to spare my feeling.  If he wants to hold them in until they rot then there’s nothing I can change about that.  At least he will know where his daughter stands. 


    You guys have helped tremendously and I appreciate it more than you know.  It’s nice to know I can get a sane perspective when needed, and an insane one when I need a laugh.  indie


    And then of course if all else fails there’s always Jerry Springer!!  lol

  • You know.. if he hasn’t said anything negative or of a bigoted nature then there’s actually a decent chance that he does know that some of the people he knows and you know have lifestyles that he wouldn’t approve of, and the reason he hasn’t said anything is because of how you reacted that one time.  He may be of a different generation but that doesn’t mean he’s oblivious to what’s going on around him..

    And Randy’s right about the stereotypes.  Well said.

  • Thats right! Springer cures all!!!! good luck

  • Thanks for your concern. I’m doing much better today. Bruised but better.I’m just starting in on this convo but I belive you have no control over who you love that is if its real love.You can force yourself to love just about anyone, but thats not real.my hubby has the same outlook on gays too. But the longer we are together the less he voices those things.
