So I watched like four episodes of the first season of 24 this morning. I think I'm hooked (damn). Luckily my dad has like three seasons on DVD, so I'll be well stocked for a while.
In one of the episodes, two female assassins/terrorists make out. For like...30 seconds. If that. And they were the BAD guys. My parents still acted all like "UM." and my mom made noises about how I should turn it off. It's like that Life episode that my parents refused to watch because the family they were investigating was a gay couple.
Anyway, Cameron came downstairs during that part, and was like "OMG, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING?" Then the scene ended and he wandered off, distracted. Later he told Spencer about how he came downstairs this morning and "almost puked" because of the girls on TV.
I'm out to everyone I know about being bisexual...except my family. And even then, Spencer knows. Ostensibly. That doesn't prevent him from making snarky comments in front of me about how gay people are no better than pedophiles, and "it's basically the same thing."
I really worry that I'm going to fall in love with some girl and then have to bring her home to these assholes. My plan is to most definitely NOT come out as long as I'm living at home/financially dependent on my family, just because I'm afraid of how they'd react. Although I wish they knew...every time they made some damn stupid comment about 'the homosexuals.'

I hate humanity's tendency to judge some sins more severely than others. While I don't necessarily agree with your choice to pursue women as partners, I agree that it is difficult to put up with family members who judge any sin more than others. I am guessing your family, like mine, is much more critical of what they see as sexual sin than they are of other sins, such as pride, lying, laziness, etc. I'm sorry you have to struggle with that.
ReplyDeleteheh. :) thanks. i don't ask that you agree...or that anyone agree...just that they not be jerks about it. all my friends know, and despite them being 90% conservative religious right, they're all reasonably nice about it.
