[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is unreasonable for you to dictate how your spouse shows his support for your daughter. Attending pride events is not a requisite for supporting someone who is LGBTQ+.

I have many LGBTQ family members and friends, I am hugely supportive of them and love them just as they are. I never go to Pride because I do not like large events. I also don't go to street festivals for anything else.

My response might be different if your DD was bothered by his reluctance to go or if you indicated he was otherwise not supportive of her coming out.[/quote]

Thank you - it's good to hear this side.  I just hope my daughter doesn't see it as an indication that we are split on supporting her.  [/quote]

Dp. From your OP sounds like she doesn’t mind… unless you’re telling here there is some split, why would she think that?  Your spouse doesn’t have to enjoy parades to be supportive of your daughter. If she says something, just tell her that.[/quote]

I think I may be reading into it too much.  My spouses parents were not supportive of her coming out and I guess I might be a bit over sensitive about that whole thing.  That's why I post here, I know I will be told the real deal since we're all anonymous. [/quote]

Your spouses parents weren’t supportive of your daughter coming out?  Or of your spouse coming out?  Either way, presumably you have both expressed in your own ways that you’re supportive of your daughter and one parade doesn’t change that. [/quote]

Spouses parents not supportive of my daughter.  They have cut all ties with her since she came out.  Terrible grandparents - I know.  [/quote]

Grandparents set their boundaries. Their choice.[/quote]

Of course it is their choice, but characterizing it as just a matter of boundaries is . . . wow.  This isn't someone telling a nosy relative to mind their own business, it's rejecting their granddaughter because of who she is.  [/quote]
