Most offensive thing your family has ever said about LGBT people?

"I don't think gays should be able to adopt kids. There are things that only a mother can do, and the child would really miss that."
- My grandpa's sister, who I see twice a year

 

"It's a choice"
"Why would you choose to lie to yourself?" (Talking about all gay people, thinking they were all lying to themselves)
This was a long time ago. They are much more accepting now.

 

They don't say anything too offensive really, or nothing that I can't deal with anyway..mostly just

"It's a choice"
My mom also went through.."What did I do wrong with her???" and "I always did think something happened to you" Which I kind of found offensive, but I try to think of it in a more understanding light even though it is frustrating

 

I can't remember if I already replied to this. 'Disgusting' from one relative. I remember another one saying that if any of her sons were gay (we were all kids at the time) it would break her heart. Considering that this is a family that disowned one of my cousins after she came out as gay, I'm sure much worse has been said.

 

"Get him away from the kids" My dad talking about my older brother and even though i'm not him i still got really offended when i heard that

 

Oh my god, my mother has compared homosexuality to pedophilia and beastiality as well. I'm was shocked by these comments. My mother is a christian fundamentalist who is very much against lgbt rights. My mother believes being gay is unnatural, ungodly and perverted. She believes it's a choice and that gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt kids because she thinks they're mental. My mother's family thinks very much like her if not worse. My dad is the only person in my family who I've opened up to about my sexuality since he's not really religious and is socially liberal. I know at some point I'll have to come out to my mom and I'm dreading that day.

 

A lot of things.

Comparing LGBTs to pedophiles.
Comparing LGBTs to barbaric animals.
Comparing LGBTs to the plague
Stating Bisexuals are really just gays or lesbians who want to play both tables to trick people.

 

Let's set the scene...
My mom and I are in the car together. It's a nice, sunny day, and lots of people are out for a walk on the streets.

Mom: **sees two girls kissing, not knowing that I, too, am a girl that likes girls**
Mom: "I don't know why anyone would make that choice. I mean, it's just gross, you know?"
Me: **trying to cover up pure disgust at her ignorance but also trying to cover up my homosexuality**
Me: ... **staring out the window pretending that I hadn't been paying attention even though I'm internally screaming**

Believe it or not, she's said similar things multiple times, and it makes me feel like I never have a chance of her understanding if I ever decide to come out to her. She's the number one reason that I'm still in the closet...

 

My brother "Trans people are just perverts and it's wrong"
This was before I came out to him of course.. his view point is different now and he has accepted me. Strange and cool how a loved one can change an opinion on others.

 

when they blame it on porn. saying people turn this way because of watching it.

 

That I'd get AIDS and die.

 

After I came out as a lesbian to my father (a very traditional and religious man) he wasn't really shocked, we even joked about both of us liking women. My mom however was in shock and she said that eventually "I would meet the right guy".

Those don't count as family but...

-A friend of mine said he would make me straight if I gave him a chance

-My uncle, who is a doctor told me he met a lesbian once, a Gold-star lesbian who fell in love with a man and now they're married and have kids and that the same would apply to me once I get tired of being single.

-My neighbor, an old lady said that I'll burn in hell (wtf)

-A guy tried to hit on me (dating app) by saying that a girl's sexuality is fluid and that "once u taste a dick ur not going back 2 pussy" after that he offered himself to "convert" me.

 

"Those gross fa...s should all be locked away for ever."
- My father

 

nothing really, im pretty lucky. My gradmother's cousin once went on a rant about how he was "sick of all these fucking homosexuals" but that's about it. when he found out I was trans he just stared at me and went silent and i havn't seen him since :/

 

- My aunt stating outright that if any of her nieces and nephews ever came out, we'd be disowned.

- My mother and sister getting pissed that lesbian/gay relationships are starting to be portrayed on television, and tried to argue with me. Both have since changed their mind since I came out to them.

- My mother reiterating the aggravating stereotype that bi people are more likely to cheat, again before I came out to her.

- The week after she found out, my mom goes on a rant towards me about how she should've raised me up on Jesus. She goes through weird phases where she'll be normal for a long while, then spout out some bs like that out of nowhere.

- My dad driving behind a slow motorcycle, gets enraged and yells "tired of these f*cking f*ggots"

- My cousin, at my grandmother's funeral, says "I hate f*gs". He's someone who I've been good friends with since the beginning, so it came as a huge shock to me.

- My grandfather blurting out something about gay people being corrupted and sinful (he's an unbearable radical Christian, so yeah).
