there, i said it.

it sounds mean to say, but going off of what "dave" has told me, i really don't like how his dad sounds. his dad is very homophobic and transphobic.

there was one incident when we were 17 where dave's dad had to sign a form and it said "gender:" with the options "male", "female", and "non-binary". he freaked out.

he also forbade us to hang out at a youth center because he saw two teenage girls hugging and assumed they were in a lesbian relationship.

he got mad at dave for saying hi to a girl from his school because she had bright pink hair and he assumed she was a lesbian because of the hair (apparently, he guessed right but still.)

in fifth grade, i remember dave had a crush on me and he told dave not to associate with me because i was "ugly" and "he could find better friends".

i wonder how he would feel about ME, his son's best friend, if he ever found out i was a lesbian/bi. he already doesn't like me and thinks i'm in love with dave, he's gonna hate me a lot more when he finds out i'm in a wlw relationship.

whenever dave's dad sees me, though, he has the nerve to say hi and smile.

just wanted to share this.

God, he sounds insufferable... I feel bad for Dave for having/having had to live with this guy.

Dave's dad sounds awful. Sounds like Dave's a much better man than his father though

Dave’s dad sound like a huge asshole. Where about are you from? I’m in our most conservative province in the most solidly locked conservative voting city in said province and that would be considered abnormal levels of bigotry here.
