My dad called. Truck driver, devout Mormon, etc. We make small talk. I dutifully ignore racist comments ("Yeah, but she was doing it with three Mexicans!" in response to a question of whether or not a particular 'ho was nasty). He then tells me about someone else in his Anger Management class who was a psychiatric nurse. She was in for domestic violence.
The DV requiring Anger Management doesn't bother him in a psychiatric nurse. What bothered him about her is that she's a lesbian. "Homos shouldn't be involved in mental health professions." He then goes off about special interests and a bill in Oregon to give kids an idea about differing sexual orientations.
Me: Allow me to be the Dirty Hippie Liberal Communist Devil's Advocate--
Him: (Silence indicating consent).
Me: --but what about those kids who know they're different and try their best to "pray out the gay," but when they realize they can't at fifteen or sixteen, decide their best chance is to blow their heads off?
Him: You know, I have a lot of respect for those kids that decide to end it instead of succumbing to the dark side.
Me: ... Jesus Christ, Dad.
Suffice it to say that he's not an Obama supporter.
Bonus Footage:
"Did you know that homosexuals are most likely to be pedophiles?"
"Did you know that homosexuals will do their best to get a man fired if he's straight and doesn't respond positively to their advances?"
"Did you know that it's not sex, but a perversion?"
I come from some damn fine breeding stock here, people. Register to have your racist, sexist baby with me, a bargain at only $100k a pop.

YOu are alive, and kicking it seems. Yikes, I feel for you. Lucky for me, my parents aren't quite so bad. Their divorce sucked religion right out of them. I have nothing against religion. It's only the people who think their views are right above everyone elses. that's how all wars get started. Anywho, Huggles!!!!
Woo hey! I need to reset my email, it seems. How you been?
I've been okay, had a cold off and on for the past 2 weeks. I just can't seem to shake it. Evil children bringing home the plague from school. Besides that, everything is great. It sounds like you've been having some health issues, thanks to your loverly meds. Take some nyquil, that should knock you out for a few days;)
