Just a nice friday night with the fam?

No.
That's not yet been proven possible. Hahaha

So here's whats going on.
My aunt and uncle come over on friday night to watch movies and visit.
Sounds nice enough right?
That's what I thought.

So we started off with this movie called Flawless, I think?
Well, I thought it was pretty good.
Then, I offered the office season 3 for our next movie.
I thought, ohh they'll love it!
Hahaha.
Yeah right.
I probably should have known better.

Well, the first one on the season is one called 'gay witch hunt'.
Where michael finds out oscar is gay, and how he tries to make everyone believe that being gay is okay and good, and that anyone can be, and stuff like that, you get the idea.
In one part michael ends up kissing oscar, which I thought was hilarious.

Well, after I start it up, I realize that I am the only person laughing, and my aunt and uncle are just glaring that the tv, looking like they wanna kill someone.
Then my uncle pauses it after the kissing part, and says, do you honestly think this garbage is funny?
Well, of course I said yes, haa I was laughing like the whole time.
Then he goes into one of his ridiculously long lectures, telling me that gay is a sin, and people are condemned for what I'm laughing at right now.
Then, about how awful humor is, and how anything that makes gay seem right, is disgusting, and well you get the idea.

Wow.
I was just sitting there, waiting to just start screaming at him.
It took every part of me to not tell him how ignorant, and predjudiced he was.
What I did say was, are you honestly sitting here, telling me how awful these people are, just because they have a different sexual orientaion than you?
I mean, what else are they supposed to do?
Get married to a woman, and be unhappy for the rest of your life, just so you can be accepted?
Or what?
Just be alone all of your life?
No!
Of course not!
Everyone has the right to be happy, no matter who they are attracted to!

Then he says, well if I'm attracted to another woman, do I leave my wife for her? (What?!)
Uhh...
No.
Nice try.
You stay with her, because you're obviously attracted to her, and very in love with her, otherwise why would you be happily married for 40 something years?
Not exactly a good comeback.

That was pretty much all he said.
Well, that I can remember.
I was so focused on trying not to yell at him, I wasn't paying too much attention to anything else.

I don't care if anyone thinks I'm overreacting, or anything else.
I find people being against gay people, gay marriage, all that to be so stupid, and ridiculous!
I mean, you may not like it, but that's how it goes.
They are people, just exactly like you are!
What should make it so horrid, and disgusting to you?
It's not like you're forced to watch them have sex, right?

I just don't see why everyone is having such a hard time grasping such a simple concept:
Let love be love.
No matter what shape or form,
Let it be.

ha. Douche. Your grampas opinion should not matter. Don't worry about it. You don't have to defend anyone of us against him.
