I was having dinner with my mom and stepfather, when he started telling a story about how one of his friend's wife cheated on his husband with a girl and said that it would offend him more if it was a girl instead of a boy. (He's pretty homophobic and misogynist.)
I told him it was ridiculous and said that there was no difference, that his friend should feel bad because his wife was unfaithful, but not because she choose a girl over a man.
Then I said:
"I have kissed girls and boys. Why should that make any difference to you". I felt confident enough to tell them that and I wanted to make a point..
He literally stood up from the table and said "I won't listen to that." And walked away. My mother dropped her face into her hands and asked:
"kissed girls.. Like properly?" It was such a silly question, but I took the time to explain her that I don't make differences between genders and that I simply liked people regardless of their gender.
I felt terrible after telling them this. But I am the only one who makes my stepdad SHUT UP sometimes. I have a little brother and I don't want him to be like his father.
