    So tonight we had the boy that is my 4th son be picked up by his mother. His parents are going through a divorce and he is essentially a member of my family. Totally out of the blue, the mother of the boy that is basically my 4th son and whom I love as my own, said about a Netflix series (paraphrasing there), "Well there are some things I don't like on there." ? I looked at her and she said "there is a Homosexual relationship. But I guess people who are who they are". I was just dumb-founded. Literally. No words. I wanted to go ape-shit on her but that would have been fool-hardy. As it was, I was just speechless and pretended everything was ok. I hate myself for it and have to come to some other solution.

    There's just no reasoning with some people. Some are so caught up in their own little world of perfection that they are blind and insensitive to the worlds of others. Best you could've done was to remain silent. I know it's hard to just stand there and listen to all the hate, but sometimes it'll hurt us more to speak up and defend the community. At least you have us to rant to :slight_smile:

    Thank you. In way of explanation, I should say that I have three (3) kids of my own to which I gave birth. The 4th is my son's best friend whose parents are going through a divorce and he is such a sweet-heart, I just genuinely love him. I was SOOOO not expecting that anti-gay grenade from his mother.

    Obviously I need to read carefully here. That boy needs all of us and I don't want to do anything to jeopardize that. How to advocate but not protest too loudly against what I obviously cannot STAND. I will say that I can stand a lot for my children. And that boy is not my own but I will advocate for him.
