So lately Ive been super busy but today had a breakthrough on my programming project and am finished 2 days early so I visited my dad.
Well in the car at burger king (where I found them to be after a phone call) while eating my french fries my step mom is on the warpath about how "queers and illegal Mexicans are ruining the country". It kinda stung a little so I proceeded to ask "I understand that illegal Mexicans can have a negative effect on the economy due to not paying in to the system but taking out, how exactly are gays ruining the country?",
to this im informed how "they want to be treated like married couples!" (in a tone like its absurd)
to which I respond "Of course, wouldn't you like to be treated equally?" and again ask "so how are gays ruining the country?"
to which she responds "because they are.."
Very much against my will I did not say anything else on the matter. I wonder if ignorance and blind hate has played a role in where the USA is today.
