[quote=Anonymous]I think this can be kind of bullshit. My extended family is mostly in the south, and many are conservative, but it's not like they all read from the same playbook. I have a gay sibling and several gay cousins. They come to family events with their partners, they speak up for themselves, and they demonstrate by their commitment their own family values. But one of my gay cousins, in particular, has literally made a career out of being a gay man who escaped a small town in the South. His gay identity is wrapped up in being a non-conformity, a rebel, and an iconoclast. Spending time with family members who aren't as brilliant and PC as he is just doesn't compare to hanging out with people at a university who spend all their time talking about the pathology of heterosexist norms and reading graphic poems to each other about LGBT sex.
