I work with a guy who went through something similar. He is ok now, very out and happy with his orientation but still will talk about it, and when he goes home for holidays they still are unaccepting. He's 40 something and they still have not come to terms with his gayness.

My daughter's girlfriend literally started crying one day "you guys are so accepting of me" she practically lives here because her parents are not. WTF, parents? I don't get this. I live my straight lady life, their lives are theirs, their sexual orientation has no effect on me, unless they like assholes, which they do not, all have great boy-or-girlfriends.

Go to your room? drop an "ok boomer", this fucker sounds like he'd explode at it

Ask him what kind of nursing home he wants to be abandoned at.

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Y'all are way more generous and less petty than I'd be tempted to be.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A cardboard box can qualify as a nursing home as long as it's staffed by enough care roaches.

Tell him it's hereditary and that he must have the genes? Lol

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tell him this. Homosexuality can develop later in life if you're not accepting of gay people. In an effort to protect you from gayness, your homofobic body will develop gay antibodies, in time these will alter your DNA by consuming your straight cells and turning you into a big ol' gay. The only way to prevent this from happening is to be open and welcoming towards all gay people.

I sucked a guys's dick to build immunity aginst gayness, did I do this right?

(I'm kidding lol, I'm still virgin)

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 day ago

It does work, but because the antibodies wear off over time, it's necessary to regularly repeat the treatment. This is, in fact, a key driver of the success of Grindr

[–] El_guapazo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

He got those good genes like that pants ad

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Just bide your time and wait for him to say that went by fast or time flies and hit him back with a hard f-word.

People like Anon‘s dad are the reason why earth is still such a backward hillbilly place. Irrational disdain for harmless things like queerness, meanwhile actual problems and crimes like global warming, PFAS usage, genocide and corruption from top government officials are being ignored.

Fun fact: Humans are less socially intelligent than apes.

I'm from a family of immigrants, my parents complain about immigration.

Bitch, WE ARE IMMIGRANTS 🤦‍♂️

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Peak "fuck you, got mine". Same with my grandparents, they were anti-immigrant immigrants. Grandpa was also notoriously racist. I laughed so hard when some genome sequencing revealed a ton of sub-Saharan genes in that side of the family. My dad was about 25% African and Grandpa was hella dark. Now how could that be..?

No, I just like Tarantino movies lol.

The concept of racial purity is dumb everywhere, but it's especially dumb in the Mediterranean, where they had these things called "boats". There is just no way that an island smack in the middle of this shit wouldn't have DNA from all over the fucking place.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Especially after that island was invaded dozens of times since it's a great strategic location. Grandpa was very dumb.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

That reminds me of Richard Pryor talking about his trip to Africa. He would ask people there what tribe it looked like he was from and they would say "you look Italian".

I have two half-Thai cousins (Floridians, naturally) whose mother was a Thai immigrant, and they love to bitch about immigrants (as does my white uncle, who brought this Thai immigrant to the US from Thailand). Neither looks Thai, but one looks generically Central American and the other looks Japanese and they got abused growing up for that. It's really wild to me how this gave them no empathy at all for the shit immigrants have to endure; instead they do their best to be caricatures of white people.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just to have an ackshoolly moment: humans are apes. If you mean humans are less socially intelligent than gorillas, male gorillas tend to do stuff like killing all the children fathered by the previous silverback. Human stepfathers at least sometimes don't do that.

[–] EldenLord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I meant apes as in great apes, but you‘re right, humans are included in the Hominidae superfamily. Gorillas almost only kill each other‘s children when the silverback dies and the group dissolves. Mostly because food becomes scarce then.

Meanwhile I have seen human parents neglect their children and steal their allowance to try and win a rare Labubu doll. So yeah I‘d argue that as a species, the apes still got their shit together better than humans. (Except chimpanzees obv.)

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Then again, gorillas don't have a concept of money or labubu dolls. Basically, our society gives more opportunities to fuck up.

Honestly wouldn't acknowledge his existence. A younger version of myself would refuse to believe this was a true story and that people are like that. Now, I'm wise enough to choose my battles. Some people just aren't worth your time.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 1 day ago

Q: What does that say about dad watching fishing on tv rather than doing it for real on the water?

A: The man has sucked every dick in town.

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Homophobe father deserves a Nobel Prize if his proposed sexuality-based time dilation is reproducible under lab conditions.

I wonder what he would say if you told him that it's on him and must be in his blood too since he sired you.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You think the dad doesn't believe it's a choice?

[–] Fourth@mander.xyz 1 points 19 hours ago

I don't know exactly what he thinks or how his framework would be impacted by insinuating the "weakness" is from his genes. 🤷

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ive been called a homophonic idiot for saying this, but people who truly believe its a choice surely must be repressed bisexuals.

Im completely hetero, I know its not a choice because I don't have the choice to go gay. I would have done really well as a gay too, ive had so many more men hitting on me than women. If I was bisexual, I would have the option to "go gay", and would have been able to make that choice.

I find it weird that people care whether it's a choice or not (for the record, I don't think sexuality is a choice, at least not usually). Is it suddenly OK to discriminate against people because of choices they make? Like which kind of car they drive or which music they listen to?

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 43 points 1 day ago

I love how asshole parents assume their health will always be okay, and they’ll never need any kind of home care or a place to live. BURNING BRIDGES IS MORE IMPORTANT!

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

If you're in a situation like anon, get out of there as soon as you can. Always remember these moments. When your dad gets old and needs your help, tell him "only f*****s need their sons to do stuff for them".

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 141 points 2 days ago (1 children)

fake: anon has any relationship with his dad whatsoever

gay: gay

Honestly, I think his dad is just a giant abusive piece of shit, who would just use any excuse to beat the shit out of his son.

[–] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 60 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Interesting, I think this dad is completely imaginary, as is so often the case with greentexts

The obvious answer is to invite over the biggest, burliest bear you can imagine, get him to befriend your dad and make your dad think you've finally made a "real man" friend, and then fuck the bear in the ass in front of dad. Assert dominance. Are you a faggot? Absolutely. Faggots can dominate the manliest of men.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 69 points 1 day ago (4 children)

And his mom says nothing. Thanks for being a complicant piece of shit anon's mom.

Just have sex with your dad already. Remove the sexual tension.

I haven't been called a faggot before, but when I've been insulted in this sort of casual, out-of-nowhere way, I've found that responding with "go fuck yourself" in a calm tone of voice and then continuing my conversation to be effective.

[–] trk@aussie.zone 57 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Time flies when you're a faggot

My sides
