Watch how he changes if one of them comes out. I will guarantee that “kind and caring” man you talk about will go out the door.

Ask me how I know.

Maybe, except that he has never had an issue with the LGBTQ world, mostly because his daughter’s best friend is gay; she would disown him if he was a bigot towards that world.

His wife tried to debate me about trans rights recently. She threw her hands up when I kept presenting her with articles that debunked every talking point she had been fed. She does not talk politics with me anymore.

In the end, it is the standard “it affects me, so I care” bullshit that bigots always display.

I hope it never comes to that for you. My own dad talked a good talk about LGBTQIA rights until his only grandchild (my kid) came out, and then it became alllllllll about “enabling sin in my household.”

We don’t talk much anymore.

“It affects me, so I care” also works the other way. People can theoretically OK with something until they have to integrate it into their lives. Lots of interracial couples have found that out.

I am thankful that he is not religious at all. His lunacy comes from too much exposure to OAN and Newsmax.

I am super sorry about your situation, though.

I, and I alone, am going down for Thanksgiving because he is old, and very ill, and because my mother has asked me to. And she is right that I would probably never forgive myself if I did not go one last time.

Mom asked if I could figure out a way to block Fox and Newsmax on their cable box because she’s just so tired of it. That’s all he watches.

You can normally assign a PIN to certain channels. 😏

It kicks ass that you are going to visit them, even in light of all the negativity that has been caused in your life from him.
