my grandfather, may he rest in peace, through the connection of his girlfriend at the time, were friends with two gay men.

Those two gay men were perhaps among the “acceptable gays” in that they said they don’t see any reason why gay people need to be married.

My grandfather used their statement as logic that all gays should not need to be married. @tyghebright

@Armchaircouch @tyghebright my ex's oldest son campaigned against ssm. Still opposes it even though he and his partner have been together 20 years.

ugh. i just smh. I know that humans are tribal and we don’t want to be cast out of our tribes, The people who love, most of us we have a need to be accepted, but sometimes, like where is the logic, you know. @Graci @tyghebright

It can be a long & difficult journey to heal the parts inside that hurt, whether they are our own or ours to serve as witnesses to.

May we all heal where we need to, support each other in our healing journeys, and come to the place where we can enjoy ourselves & each other with friendship & respect.
