This just sickens me.

Yet another homophobic bullying blog! I seriously need to start talking about other things.

I just got into a fight with my mother, my brother, who is 12, said
"Did you know my sister is gay? Ew." and pulled all these faces and made a bunch of disgusting noises to emphasize his disgust. Naturally, I told him off. My mother was sitting next to me, I assumed that because she says she is very welcoming of the LGBTI community she would back me up on this. But no, she told me off.

She says he is too young, and doesn't know what it means.

  1. He is going into high school next year, where everyone knows the most bullying happens.
  2. If he doesn't know what it means it is just MORE of a reason to teach him that it isn't a good thing to do. And teach him that there is nothing wrong with the LGBTI community.


It's situations like this that makes me question if I ever want to have children. I'm so afraid that they would hate my partner and I because we are lesbians. And with schools like they are now, it is very likely to happen.

Seriously, if you have kids, work with kids, or have anything to do with kids, please teach them that we are all EQUAL and just because we aren't the prince and princess that they see in fairy tales does not mean we deserve to be treated like this.
