I don't know why, but this post reminds me of a conversation I had decades ago when I was working as a dishwasher in a posh restaurant. We were discussing love life, sex life and so on and in the restaurant business then (still now perhaps) people were pretty open about their sexual orientations. One of the senior waiters told us that in his family, they were four children and it went 50% hetero, 50% homosexual. I don't know to this day if he was the former or the latter.
Beautiful sentiments! I know people in my age group who have changed their views since our childhood and are now allies! It is very heartwarming. We must support each other, but it is essential for those who need it most.
You see, grandmas are the best!
ReplyDeleteGay and proud to be myself. Ally of all those different from me (except haters). And you are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSupport and respect are so important!
ReplyDeletewe still have a long way to go but my god it's better than it used to be.
ReplyDeleteThat 88-year-o;d Grandma nailed it!
ReplyDeleteYes, to be ourselves with respect, what a concept.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! The grandmas sure do seem to have it together!
ReplyDeleteFamily support is very important.
ReplyDeleteRespect costs you nothing. Such a great comeback!
ReplyDeleteMost of these got to me.
ReplyDeleteHello Debra, There is always a trade-off. Young people can now love anyone they want from the get-go, but they can't iron!

Beautiful post Debra ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteGrandmas rule! I love the one about the grandma ironing the flag, and the same goes for the feisty grandma who tells the dad what's what.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Grandmas!! I support ~
ReplyDeleteSupport is so important in everything...and..for me there has never been love without respect..Have a happy weekend..
ReplyDeleteYes, better now than when people had to hide or kill themselves
ReplyDeleteLove, friendship and supportive allies makes life worthwhile and a whole lotta fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's sad, but there are still too many people that can't accept people that are different from them.
ReplyDeleteSupport more than once a year! Proud longtime ally here.
ReplyDeleteGrandma's certainly have been around long enough to know how life is.
ReplyDeleteThese are all great. It heartens me to find some people who were once adamantly anti-gay instead learning to accept and love.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
