How to deal with a homophobic parent?

Note that in all of Jesus’ sermons he never once mentions homosexuality. Jesus preaches against materialism, revenge, judging others, divorce, etc. but not a word about homosexuality. If homosexuality was such a BFD to God wouldn’t God Jr. at least mention it? Most of the religious opposition to homosexuality comes from the Old Testament. Note that the old testament forbids all kinds of things like wearing clothes made of different kinds of cloth, planting fields with different kinds of seeds, eating seafood that doesn’t have scales or fins, eating pork, etc. Funny thing is that modern Christians dismiss all of these other things as being part of the old coveneant and not relevant to modern Christians but they focus on any passage that rationalizes their own bigotry like a laser. Also, most of the OT condemnations are male homosexuality not lesbianism.

I used to listen a lot to Ani Difranco who is bi. A lot of lesbian fans liked to think of her as one of their own and would get upset when she had a boyfriend. I see negativity toward bi from both the gay and straight communities. She wrote a song about it, In or Out.

For the record i’m not all for same sex relationships either…but i’m not gonna be like a lot of christians and be all ‘you’re going to hell’ about it. Everyone has a right to feel the way they feel or the way they believe. The way i see it your dad can either get over it and be happy that you’re happy and wish you the best or he can just stay mad at you. I know that having a parent against you and your decisions hurts, but sometimes you have to look past what ppl think and just do what makes you happy.
