I’m a bi/questioning lesbian woman. I’m dating a nonbinary masc person and a woman/demigirl because I’m attracted to anyone who isn’t strictly a man. (Maybe I’m polysexual). However, despite having dated my fiancée for 4 years and engaged to her for 11 months, my dad still thinks I’ll “come to my senses sooner or later”, start praying to Jesus/God, and then become a straight Christian woman.
My family is not the best, but not the worst. I don’t speak to most of them for various far-right views. But when I was more closeted and in what appeared to be a straight relationship and living in Texas, I definitely heard that line that “those people” are brainwashed by media and/or <insert current minority the far right are using as the enemy>. And usually Christianity was the solution they said should be forced on “them”, that or death. Glad I’m in a progressive place now, and I’m able to be out and away from random people who were obviously brainwashed themselves since that’s what fascists do. They say that some enemy of the month is doing the exact bad thing they themselves are doing to their followers so their followers don’t realize their real enemy.
