I'll never understand homophobes
Especially my parents. I was with my Mom to drop off her dress at the cleaners when she brought up a good friend of mine who is lesbian. My friend and I have known each other since elementary and my Mom knows her too as she worked with her mom. But that day she found out through social media that my friend is attracted to women which sent her into this nonsense rant about how people who are gay are "lost" and what it says about sleeping with the same sex in the Bible and yada, yada.
To which I replied, "gay people aren't lost, they know who they are, just like you {Mom} know who you are, it would be silly for someone who is gay to lie to themselves that they're not. With that answer, I guess she got it in her head that because I'm siding with the lgbt, instead of bashing them like she was doing that I must be gay as well because she asked me if I liked men or women. You should have seen the look on my face, I was in disbelief that this is where our conversation came to, to verify if i'm on her side or on their side. Eventually she stopped talking about it, thank goodness.
