Not that he ever was of any reasonable political stance, but Fox got him truly hating all his kids, and I was the most far removed from his generation and beliefs. Fox just totally entrenched him into bias confirmation, lost in the idiotic "liberals are destroying the U.S." meme. He was so lost in the WWII rhetoric, racist as hell, and of course unwaveringly homophobic.
It's been the extended LGBT family that has been my resource, my comfort since I was 16 and totally lost in feeling isolated. I discovered in San Francisco that I wasn't the only one by a long shot.
I offer you the love of a comrade in the trenches that also helps fight homophobia however I can. Stay strong, keep the faith.
