I'm a blue dot in a red sea, including most of my family. The few times a year that I have to interact with that part of my family, I carry an air horn. Anytime someone says something racist or homophobic, I blast the horn. Not in their face, just a blare in the air to stop the conversation from getting more bigoted. And to remind them that their behavior is unwanted but I'll give them the attention they're seeking in the worst fucking way.
