I don’t know where to put this.

I’m a bicurious/hetero young white woman with Christian white parents. My dad found out I support gay rights despite identifying as straight. He didn’t really like that I have a Hispanic fiancé (he was okay with it, but he was like “you could do better, come on.”)

He called me a “leftist lib” because I support interracial marriages, gay marriages, trans rights, etc. How can you use supporting these things an insult though??

I also really want acceptance as someone who is neurodivergent and has seen neurodivergent people and minorities be bullied/discriminated against and also has been bullied themself.

    To conservatives, it’s about tribalism. If you’re in, then you’re good. If you’re out, then you’re bad. Your father is saying you’re not part of the in-crowd, thus are bad.

    IMO, you shouldn’t argue with him, either take it as a compliment “yeah, thanks. I do think people should be treated humanely” or go ridiculous “yes! Abolish the state! No private property! Anarchy! Burn it all down!”
