it makes me both sad and angry that a lot of people here are really quick to defend parents who reject their kids talking about "unconditional love" and how you should take shit from them and listen no matter what because they're your parents blah blah blah. SOME PARENTS ARE ABUSIVE. some parents make their children suffer a lot. a lot of kids who're in the LGBT community will know what i'm talking about. stop acting like it's a perfect world, if you're privileged enough to be respected as a person, great for you, not everyone is this lucky. PARENTS SOMETIMES ARE BAD PEOPLE. this is reality. don't make people who don't love their parents feel like shit more than they already do.
