I won a calendar from @ clucknorrismanor and I love it so much!๐ Each month is a different photo of Cluck Norris dressed up as a version of a celebrity, like Bitty White, or Meryl Cheep, or Oprah Henfrey. It is great and will hang in a place of honor in my new chicken salon...more on that later.
Today I mistakenly thought it'd be a good idea to show my conservative evangelical christian dad my new calendar. Why, I now have no idea, and as soon as he realised the person in the photos is gay he got on his high horse and got disgusted, said he would burn that calendar and its not funny and left๐ณ
I thought he'd roll his eyes and not be as amused or delighted as I am by it, but not disgusted. Sigh. The ignorance and bigotry in some of the people I love and call family is tough, I hate it. But I used to have the same mindset before I left evangelicalism behind. I love being able to care about all people now regardless of their belief in whatever myth or skygod they may have. I think love is love and that is beautiful. My dads critical vibe still gets under my skin...oh you bet it does. I was still jittery an hour later texting my lil' seestor @idratherbehiking about the incident. Sigh. I love our dad, but he is an ass at times.
