as a result, they shut the fuck up about it.
which is exactly what i wanted to happen.

did i change their FEELINGS about the gay?

probably not.
they still think a sin.
they'd still rather me not be it.
i am sure they are still praying for me.

but they now know what they can and cannot say around me
if they want me in their lives.
in essence, they STFU.

which is enough.


and really, the only reason i had as much patience as i did
is because we are related.

fuck anybody else that has a problem, on general principle.
