I could see that. "Red Rover" would have to be in there, too.

Still, there are some relatives who will never be okay with it and then there are others who don't know because I suspect they'll never be okay with it. Lately I've been thinking that if that's the way it works out, it would be best if they never knew, if they died thinking I'm straight. They drive me crazy with the whole "When is your wedding going to be, huh? Are you next?" and "When are you having a baby?"

Anyway...I'm sorry that no one else has had it easy. I'm glad that you all have found some peace of mind, whether your relatives came to terms with it or you distanced yourself from them for self-preservation.

A friend here had her parents pull her out of college when she came out to them. Like college made her gay and they could cure her or something. It must have been so awful.

She was. The worst was she was finally having fun and enjoying her life getting comfortable with who she is. Stupid ignorance.

I had one person on my Ignore List all this time and now I've added TWO MORE to it.

Now that's progress!!
