There seems to be hope!
Long story short
Dad got into a conversation about LBGTQ with Rachel and myself when she was hanging out with me. Anyway he started asking about what the T was for and made some comment about how it doesn’t fit in because of the fact being Transgender isn’t a sexual orientation.
(I know it’s not the only one there that is considering Q being for gender queer to my knowledge and there are plenty of other things that are in between and so on, but my dad isn’t the most accepting mind you so I didn’t push my luck here)
Anyway at some point he said “I don’t know, I admittedly don’t know a lot about the community, but maybe I’d be more sympathetic if I knew more about it and read up or something.”
Which for my Dad is amazing to say! I am so excited to hear something even remotely positive from him! So maybe I can get him to read more and accept more. This is putting me a step closer to being able to tell him I think. I’m hoping for the best.
