[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess OP wouldn't want to socialize with conservative Muslims or Jewish people.

Nah, what am I thinking?  It's not cool to say that.  It's only ok if the offending family is Christian.

If conservative Muslims or Jewish people told OP that her lifestyle was abhorrent and she was an abomination and she should be stoned to death, then yeah, I bet she wouldn't want to socialize with them. Maybe it's because this is DCUM so most people lean left, but I think you are wildly underestimating how much hate certain people have for the LGBTQ+ community.

Why is it that when someone from a marginalized group says they feel concerned about or afraid of some people because those people have a history of horrific actions against that group people like to dismiss it? Why can't you just accept OP's perspective as someone who is part of a group that you aren't (note that most gay parents who have chimed in understand where OP is coming from)? I'm not gay, and I'm not black, and I'm not Muslim, and I'm not a lot of things, but when someone who is gay or black or Muslim or whatever tells me that they're concerned because their neighbors are affiliated with a group of people who think they should die, I listen and sympathize, I don't call them intolerant.
