There was a lot of denial in my pre-teen years about being bi and gender fucked, and a lot of being a closet case in high school, but the repression wasn't really to do with religious household stuff, despite growing up with a heavy-handed Jewishboo dad. I just knew (assumed?) they hated the idea of any of us being queer. There is a specific moment I recall where my dad accused my older sister of being a lesbian because her best friend was an older woman, and that was one of various events that cemented my never opening up to any of what I was going through.

Now however, after a lot of hypothetical rants and increased pop cultural acceptance, I feel as though my dad is the one parent who wouldn't give a flip about it, and probably even support me. My mom still says hateful things about homosexuality, betting irksome coworkers are jealous and gay for her, how unnatural it is, and backpedal out of saying "even animals don't do that" to "well we're supposed to be better than animals. She's the sweetest person in the world, but on this one thing I don't think she'll ever budge.

At this point, my sisters, and likely every other member of the extended family (though they are in the US and Guatemala to be fair) knows that I'm bisexual. Just not the parents. And the only other relative to know about the gender issues is the little sister.

tl;dr I sort of don't deal.
