 * April 5, 2016

I'm pissed. I called mom today since it'd been a while. Wanted to know how she and dad were doing, and they're doing fine. She asked how Grant was doing, I don't know why, but she did. I said things were fine, we're still friends, he's dating someone, blah blah the usual shit that I thought was literally so ordinary, and then she just kinda said nothing. Then I heard her and dad whispering, and next thing I knew, dad was freaking the fuck out and started yelling at me in the phone about how Grant is a lil bitch and how he manipulated me, and mom went on and said that it's obvious that he just used sexuality as an excuse to cheat on me and then act stupid and irresponsible, and that's the only explanation for him "moving on so fast".

I'm not proud of it, but... actually nah, scratch that, I'm pretty proud of how I handled it and defended Grant. I told them plain and simple that his sexuality isn't his choice and Grant never cheated, and they could call me again when they lose their prejudice and become decent human beings. Maybe I was over the top, but I don't care. I haven't come this far in my life to have queer people still get disrespected in front of my face. It shouldn't matter that they're my parents.

I'm just so disappointed that they're still this homophobic after so many years. I thought they changed, I really did. When I told them that we were getting a divorce, they were understanding. Or at least I thought they were. Maybe they just didn't want to get into fights with me over my passion for LGBT. And all was fine with Grant and I divorcing until they realized he's actually in another relationship. How messed up is that? But honestly, did they not learn enough from the debacle literally two decades ago with Leticia where they almost lost one of their daughters for good? I really felt the urge to call Leticia up and rant about this, but I didn't feel like opening old wounds for her. It took so much effort for us all to be on some sort of a functioning family relationship again and I don't want to ruin it. But then again, it's not my fault my parents are still bigoted.

I need a drink.
