That's fine and well, but you should realise and admit your view is purely based on emotion and not rational.

Children of same-sex parents have equal outcomes: https://whatweknow.inequality.cornell.edu/topics/lgbt-equality/what-does-the-scholarly-research-say-about-the-wellbeing-of-children-with-gay-or-lesbian-parents/

Why should we defer to tradition and "I think it's icky" if the science clearly demonstrates same-sex parenting is fine?

thought the same thing initially. I first saw this on fb (from fayette county so it was being shared around) and if it’s a joke it’s someone playing the long game. this person’s post history has some innocuous posts about buying/selling stuff, and then when you go further back you start finding the fox news and shared youtube videos about covid being planned. the post is either deleted or not public anymore now

Thanks! Currently all my money is in cash because I don't have a bank account and for some reason my work pays me via paper check like it's 1992. My current plan is to get a savings account as soon as possible so I don't have loads of cash in a random envelope in my closet. I feel pretty confident about being able to stick to my budget though. I had a $20/month allowance for a long time so ~$50/week is still a huge improvement to me.

You need to tell him that if he’s not fine with you going and he should let you cancel, otherwise he’s it’s like he just wants to keep punishing you without accepting a solution. Isn’t there a way he could come with you? If not, you should remind him that you put up with his family for 3 years- he can take a bit of inconvenience for a few days.

I absolutely believe making blanket judgments against whole groups of people— any group including religious ones— is contributing to the problem. I’m really sorry that people make assumptions about you over other peoples’ behavior.

I got utterly torn apart over sharing that I was trans, and all I said was that existing felt unsafe, but I do recognize it may have been poor timing with recent events and insensitive on my part to say it then, although the comment I responded to was on how most trans people want to exist and be left alone. People even downvoted my conversation with someone mentioning being multiply-marginalized— I was just happy to see anyone speak up for us at that point. But anyway, if somebody hasn’t directly done something to you, why judge them so harshly? Y’all deserve better too. And I hope the public’s perception of y’all can change.
