I was sitting down, watching TV with my family (an unusual event as I have a 32" tv and they have a 21"... guess which I prefer). When Gorge Micheal appears on TV, then I hear the dumbest statement I've heard in years : "He's a double connector". It was my dad; we were all confused what he meant until he said that Gorge Micheal was gay. Thats right! my dads name for gay people is "Double Connector"... Why, oh why cant adults/parents GROW UP??... he's over 50 for gods sake! at least thats what he tells us, though I'm not sure hes much older than 11. Anyone else got a story about how uneducated, stereotypical, idiotic or childish your parents are
My mother loves her cats..and she used to go around the house screaming "MEEEEEEEEEYOWZAAA." Don't ask..she's strange. PS: First post with avatar (w00t eric draven)
I seem to remember a ski holiday with my mum skiing down a mountain wearing one of those jester hats, a pair of portable speakers strapped to her head and singing along... I don't know her of course.
my mom sticks her tounge out at me when I prove her wrong and she throws a tantrum when I explain things too fast when telling her how to do her chemistry homework
Answer me one question..............why does someone homophobic deserve a medal? My brother is gay and I know some other gay people and they are the nicest people you could meet.
Thats exactly the point I wanted to make, but.. bleh. Everytime I hold my ground in a forum, I set it alight with flames.
I wasn't having a go at you Liquid K9, it was at Stew cos he always says nasty stuff. I got the point you were making Friends?
why does calling gay people 'double connectors' make them homophobic? and why does it make you upset when you arent a homosexual? maybe you should ask your homosexual friend if he finds it upsetting first? i actually think its quite funny
I only get upset when people like Stew are constantly making nasty comments. My brother doesn't find it funny as he is constantly being called names. I am not upset about what was said -just sticking up for my bro!!!
people got offended when someone (a while ago) referred to gay people as people who "lick the other side of the stamp" but I thought it was hilarious.
Anyway getting back to the orginal point of the thread..... I think my parents are very stereotypical and snobbish for the following reason: I met Tom(my boyfriend) nearly two years ago when I started working at asda. We started going out and when my dad dropped me off at the cinema the one night he saw Tom for the first time. When he picked me up later on,all he did one the way back is slag Tom off-he hadn't even met him! One weekend I decided to take Tom home to meet my parents-big mistake! Neither of my parents spoke to him-which I found very rude (they just said hello) and my brothers weren't exactly talkative towards him either. When Tom went home I had all my family saying stuff like Tom was not good enough for me etc. and this was just on the first impression of him. I got very upset about this and worse was yet to come. They have never accepted Tom and always tried to split us up. Tom and I are at uni together and living in the same accomodation an d my parents don't know so I always have to lie to them and when I go home to see my daughter I want to take Tom with me cos my daughter loves to see him and I get so upset cos I can't do this. My parents have always been like this and I have lost so many friends over it but I sure as hell ain't giving Tom up!!!!! Sorry for ranting!!!
