My Family v.s. Being Gay
Dec 20th, 2005 at 4:50 pm by Jon
Yesterday was very disturbing for me, on many different levels. There was SO much drama and insanity at my house, but that shouldnâ??t surprise me; there is always insanity and drama at my parentâ??s place.
My little brother, who just turned 12, found out that my best friend was gay. Well, all hell broke lose in the house after that! He immediately started making fun of my friend and then told me that when he came over to the house, he would make fun of him as much as he could. As if this wasnâ??t enough, about thirty minutes later, my brother told me that if I was gay that he would have to kill himself because it would be wrong to live in the same house as a gay person.
After my little brother had gone to bed, my mother came up to my room to yell at me! Not only is she upset that Iâ??m gay, but she doesnâ??t want my little brother exposed (her word) to anything about my lifestyle (her word again).
What is wrong with this picture?!?!
He just came into my room without knocking, something he learned from my mom, and read what was on my computer screen, just like my mom does. Should I be punished and yelled at because he has learned to be nosey!?!?
Furthermore, what is wrong with my family?! My parents are teaching my little brother that being gay is something to be ashamed of and is completely wrong! AND, if my parents, who claim to be somewhat liberal and open-minded, are teaching their children this, what are other parents teaching their young?
that sucks about what is goin on with your family and you, i empathize with you though because my family isnt much better know how many times i tell them im gay they simple refuse to acknowlegde……..my parents still tell everyone that i have girlfriends and what not……….lol……………
hope all goes well,
