[quote=Anonymous]I'm 52, my parents are in their early 80s. They're both hippies in a lot of ways. Very liberal, have always helped others less fortunate than themselves. They've given lots of their time, attention & money to other people just because that's who they are. They were pretty shocked when my sibling came out as gay. Not because they judged her or worried about what others would think, but because they simply didn't know a lot of gay people living in the small town where they raised us. Are they open-minded about Trump and the current Republican Party? Nope.

I would say I'm a little more open-minded than my parents in that I try and understand WHY people are certain ways/hold certain views. I'm pretty curious. Abortion is where things break down for me because I believe so strongly in body autonomy.

One of my kids is really strident with his very liberal opinions and I'm encouraging him to be more open-minded and curious. My other child is the most accepting and open-minded person I know. She's very liberal and operates from a live and let live mindset.  She has extreme learning disabilities and doesn't want anyone to judge her and she never judges anyone else.  [/quote]
