Yeah, I mean, it was a HUGE step to come out to my parents. And of course I'm incredibly happy that they didn't disown me or something crazy. But there is clearly a disconnect when they say they love me and want me to be happy but can still have the opinions they have. I know FOR SURE that they voted for the marriage amendment in VA back in '06. And like, they didn't know at the time, but I get the distinct feeling they would vote that way again, and I don't see how they can not understand that that would be PURPOSEFULLY VOTING AGAINST MY RIGHTS AND FUTURE HAPPINESS. IDK.
I'm sorry your sister is so uncomfortable with it! That's so surprising. I mean, it's not unheard of in slash fandom, but ... stil :-/ Maybe, if you don't want to bring it up with her directly, you could like ... start building her tolerance? Start gradually mentioning girls a little more, then a little more, and so on? *hands* IDK. Sorry you have to deal with this bb. I feel ya. *HUGS*
(P.S. do you want me to screen this, since I opened up the post?)
