So, I was not going to tell this, but it is eating me alive. My brother is retired out of the military. He asked last weekend if he could bring his girlfriend to stay for the night. Of course, I said it was fine. They got to my home around three in the afternoon and we grilled and visited while my hubby cooked. They had probably been there about two hours and she started telling about someone that had been to her father's business and wanted to buy some of his offerings. The person wanted things a little different from what her father had built.(wood work). They agreed to pay an astronomical price for what they wanted. Then she said, "They were gay as the day is long." So, Jimmy(my hubby) looked at me as it to say "don't slap the shit out of her". I just looked at her and said, "What do you mean? What is "gay as the day is long?" She looked at me like I was an idiot and said. "You know. They are fags." Needless to say, my hubby signaled my brother to shut her mouth and then told me to come inside. I was livid. He said "Let it go. Kyle is out there. (grandson). I just looked at him but agreed. Two seconds later, Kyle came through the door and said, "Nana, did you hear what she said. She is wrong to talk about people isn't she?" I have to tell you. I hugged that little eight year old so tight. I did not say anything to the idiot outside because the one that matters understood. I have never been so glad that I held my temper. I am so proud of my daughter for instilling the right things in my grandson and love my grandson for being himself, as he was taught to be.

*Ughs* My hubby's family was doing all sorts of racial slur comments when my kids were in the house when we were visiting 2 weeks ago, and then my dad made a comment about 'faggots' when we were visiting him on the way home. I had to ask politely for them to knock it off at my in laws ... but my dad was pierced with a nasty glare. He apologized.

 

I can't help but wonder wth is wrong with people. I know that sort of thing was rife when older people but damn it, they live in THIS day and age, so get with it! And pay attention to the message they are sending to the youngest generations!

 

I'm so glad your grandson knows better. He's been raised right!

Good going Jo and grandson, I don't know of this gay hate myself, apart from what I read, but Stuby has to hide who he is from grandparents, his parents are absolutely fine with it. I don't know why it matters, whether you're gay, straight or practice pumping up and down on a cucumber, you're still a person for fluffs sake. :hug:
