I’d probably have to help my mom accept herself, but she’s actually open minded when engaged in sincere conversation. I’d probably have to help her reconcile her faith with her sexuality, which won’t be too hard. She’s actually one of “the good ones,” when it comes to being very Christian but also the parent of a queer child. (Me)

My step-dad would be interesting. If he came out it would be a genuine shock given he is a bigot. While it might feel really good to point and laugh at him, and not care what happens after he comes out to his very conservative family, thinking on it I’d rather offer my support to him and maybe gain an ally. I could at the very least be out to him. I’m not currently because I don’t know how he’d take it and I live in his house.

My dad’s dead. If he was alive I wouldn’t be a part of his life. If someone told me he came out, I would say, “Neat!” Then move on with my day.
