Homophobic parents? Be even more homophobic. Hi, for some context. I, a 16 year old guy,

am gay. I'm only out to my group of besties and my brother though. I'm part of a Muslim family.

They're wonderful and I love them with my whole heart and soul, but my mum and stepdad, my mom's 42 and my stepdad is 46, are homophobic. My brother, who's 13, isn't as much,

though he does have some slight aversion to the LGBT community. So, we were on a road trip on our

way to some auntie's house, and me and my brother were watching mean girls on my phone,

having a good time. The jokes were funny and my parents were chatting indistinctively.

That is, until a certain joke happens in the movie. I think the joke was about some kids holding a gun

saying they used it to hunt animals and homosexuals. I laughed because, ha ha, get it, Southern

Americans, am I right? But my dad was not having it.

In the middle of the road, he turns to see me and my brother and says in a kind of threatening tone,

did I just hear the word homosexuals?

I said, yeah, and that it was just a joke in the movie.

Then he said, I better not see you watching that weird gay content, with my

mum just nodding and saying yes. I was livid, but I quickly came up with a good answer to that.

Oh, don't worry, Dad. The joke is about shooting down gay people, as it should be, I said,

with a smile on my face. My brother just looked at me with a face that screamed,

dude, what the F?

My mum looked at me with a similar face, but slightly worried,

and my dad just muttered,

well, don't say that, you must respect others.

He just tells me to stop talking

and says that we must be good to others and respect them and blah blah blah.
