how sick the conversation is, period. (because I cant remember how he phrased it, probably derogatorily like in your face and unnecessary over the top blah blah blah)


Years ago someone close to me said she was OK with gay people as long as they didnt shove it in her face.

WHOA I said, I said are you OK when your son and his girlfriend kiss in public?

In a very short amount of time she came to see the light and I give her credit because she came from a typical small town, white area where there were only whites and nobody was gay that they knew of, etc. no tolerance of brown or gay etc

ALL straight people have evolved to one degree or another on accepting gay people, I think.

Nobody had it right from the get go, nobody I know anyway.

But I hope I am wrong about that
