When we talked about the federal election she said she couldn’t vote for a party that would take away rights from her gay son, and I kind of lost my shit. “WHAT RIGHTS? WITH THE ECONOMY IMPLODING WHAT POLICY IS BEING PROPOSED THAT WOULD TAKE AWAY YOUR GAY SON’S ANYTHING?” and she talked about how now in Alberta the Gay Straight Alliances in schools have to notify parents and how awful that is for abused kids and kiwis I think I have yet another family member not speaking to me. Gen X, but same stupidity.
