not all my family just my granda and my mum!!!
particularly my granda
he says this stuff about people and its RACIST!!!!(not in a creepy klu klux klan way)
then my mum agrees
and today they were laughing and taking the piss out of gay people and talking about them as if they were all like jeff from will and grace
OMG WE ARE ALL PEOPLE!!!!! DOES IT MATTER WHO WE WANT TO BE WITH!!!! DOES THAT MAKE YOU BELOW SOMEONE CAUSE YOU HAPPEN TO LIKE SOMEONE WHO IS THE SAME SEX AS YOU??? NO!
why are they so small minded to go by sterotypes!!!!!!!!!!
but the thing is they dont understand why i get so pissed of at them cause they think they are so funny!!!!
its not funny
but they cant see that!!!!!!!!
how can i make them understand cause i love them but when they talk like that i hate them soooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I have to say my dad is the same way, when somebody is bad on the road he just assumes that they are Asian. But I have to say that I find most adults are like that, they grew up in a different world, they were never so harshly disciplined about how everyone is equal. Now a days kids are constantly told that everyone should be treated equally and that nobody is below you, but back then they didn't grow up being told these things. Tell your grandpa and your mom that it bothers you and just let it go.
r u gay?
because there shallow minded, i find alot of older people are like this, if your different its wrong, my mum is also racist and it annoys me so much, like i say we are all people, why they accept this, one day someone will put them in there place and i will laugh cos its unfare,
There are many people who still think that homosexual sex is disgusting and unnatural. It doesn't mean they are wrong, just with a different opinion from you.
You hate your family because they disapprove of unnatural practices???...who's the intolerant one now?
the thing is the older generation is always gonna be a bit more of that. they're too old to change now.. so if i was you i wouldnt bother trying.
many families are like that because they were educated from their parents and the school.. so you can't hate them because they are your family.. if you are lesbian or bi.. you can start to show them some information or to show them another gay people.. I mean if you are that way.. in the end all this manly gays and straight people think gays are like that.. I include myself because I haven't met a manly gay but I hope to meet one if there is one or bi man.. but all this come from the tv or gays that they notice on the streets.
Sweetie as long as there are people there will be those who accept and those who don't.
Get over it and just love them anyway.
well since there old then they come from a different time then we young people do. they don't see the world as our fresh young minds do. we are young and opened minded waiting to try something new. the come from a period where all there thoughts and views where drilled in there head.
It's not Jeff his name is Jack. Haters don't matter in my eyes.
your question should be worded in the following manner: "OMG Why is my family so small minded?"
You need to understand that they are of a different generation, particularly your grandpa. When he was young he probably never even encountered any gay people and didn't really think that many of them even existed. I am in my sixties and can tell you that that was my experience. I have accepted the reality and don't make such jokes but perhaps he hasn't. Sit down and talk to them calmly about how you feel.

Why do you care about the ignorance that pours from them? Be yourself. That is all that matters in ones life. It doesn't matter what the next guy thinks.
Who's Jeff?
It's a generational thing. Parents are usually different from their kids. I'd just let it go. Sometimes people find it comforting insulting things they don't know about, but there's nobody named "Jeff" on Will and Grace.
Well, unfortunately older people grew up in a time where gays and lesbians were not ok and also in a time where A lot racism was going on. It is hard to teach a old dog a new trick... When someone is brought up to think a certain way, it is some times hard for them to think any different. You should just state your opinions about everything and just ignore them. I am a lesbian and deal with rude and small minded people every day, its hard at times, but there is nothing that can be done about it. There is always going to be someone who thinks they are bigger and better than someone for some kind of reason. Whether is be racism, religion, gender... anything! Good luck doll!
You can't change the way people are. But it's good that you understand right from wrong. U got a good concious. Why don't u point out at the next joke that its wrong. They may act mean after that and you'll feel left out, but trust me on their insides they will feel awkward and hatefully guilty which will probably make them stop it a bit which is the first step.
