I don’t know where to put this.
I’m a bicurious/hetero young white woman with Christian white parents. My dad found out I support gay rights despite identifying as straight. He didn’t really like that I have a Hispanic fiancé (he was okay with it, but he was like “you could do better, come on.”)
He called me a “leftist lib” because I support interracial marriages, gay marriages, trans rights, etc. How can you use supporting these things an insult though??
I also really want acceptance as someone who is neurodivergent and has seen neurodivergent people and minorities be bullied/discriminated against and also has been bullied themself.
Maybe remind him that leftist libs are Americans, and if he was too, he’d be defending your right to say anything no matter how he feels about it.
If he isn’t tolerant, he isn’t American. Out patriot his ass with the lessons he grew up with instead of the ones baked into him from Fox News.
This is the way. The “right” aren’t true Americans according to the history books.
