ugh. queerphobia.
me: *mentions pride*
dad: "a normal society doesn't have such people"
can i get either a "fuck you" or a well reasoned response for my dad? or both?
ugh. queerphobia.
hmm. he sure likes books. and he doesn't speak English and only understands a little. but i get my data from the internet. in English. almost exclusively.
so I need a source to point him at that disproves his shitty eugenist views. (because i'm not good at heated impromptu debates with people who can go "well, you don't agree with me? i'll just kick you out")
ugh. queerphobia.
@grainloom hmm. maybe answer with a challenge of what he thinks a normal society is or has been.
if he gives you a definite answer, odds are good that you'll be able to find a queer history of (whatever time period or society goes here), and hopefully translated into multiple languages.
if he offers no definite answer, ask him how he can use something that never existed as a baseline. (don't you need a baseline to exist before deciding to measure shit in comparison?)
ugh. queerphobia.
@grainloom (and if he uses ancient greece or ancient rome as his ideals of a normal society, please imagine me in the background unhelpfully losing my shit and wheezelaughing myself onto the floor.)
