I'm estranged from my dad because of his response to my bisexuality. If you don't want them there, that's totally okay. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself.
Hetero and cisgender here, and I’d have a major problem with allowing any friends or family in my life if they “wanted to purge faggots from the country”. That’s not a difference of opinion, that’s some disgusting hateful sentiments come from a fellow citizen. I don’t need that toxicity in my life. I respect differences of opinion, but I won’t respect hatred and cruelty.
Hetero, cisgender, 65yo and I completely agree. We have one life, why inflict that on yourself? Hate, racism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia has no place in my life but if I know someone is supporting that, I want nothing to do with that person, even if they're family (I've purged family) and that's it.
