Blogging will be light this weekend as I have 101 things to get done. You see, my parents, my two sisters, one of their husbands, and my three nephews (ages 6, 3 & 3) are all treking out to California from Texas to spend Christmas with brassguy and myself. They arrive Tuesday and I am very excited and very nervous.
You see, this is the first time my parents will meet Greg (brassguy). It is the first time my family have met anyone I have dated because I didn’t want them to meet someone I was just dating - I wanted it to be the person I would be committed to before I went down that road with them. Well, I met that person so here we go. It is hard enough to meet the parents in a hetero relationship - pile on the whole gay thing and you’re popping Tums like a madman.
Oh, did I mention that we are all going to spend Chrismas Eve and day at Greg’s parent’s house? So my family, who has never met Greg, is coming here to spend Christmas with him and his family, whom they have never met either.
I want any liberal that happens upon this entry to understand something: All of the people in these two families are Republicans. My Republican father, who 12 years ago said he could never accept his gay son (and hasn’t said the word “gay” since), is bringing his Republican family halfway across the country to SAN FRANCISCO to meet the Republican parents of his Repulican son’s Republican partner.
I seriously doubt most “progressives” are capable of wrapping their narrow little minds around this one.
