    While growing up, my migrant parents loved to comment on this and say how an Anglo Saxxon family would have kicked me out when I turned 18. Meanwhile they kicked me out of home at 14 for being gay.

      Bro, you should have just gone to church, married a girl you met there, have a family, and do the whole gay thing on the side like all the Republican politicians do when they hit up the RNC convention. Grindr literally crashed from all the activity in Milwaukee when the convention started there :>

        It’s a joke but I often wonder if this was why my dad was so upset by my coming out. I don’t think he’s even likely to be gay, but I think that unexplored question in his mind is a black hole now.

      Anglo Saxxons do be like that, which is why I’m proud of my Iceni heritage.
