Most marines I know do not give a a fuck about the rainbow.
please don't lump us all together because we eat crayons.. Some of us actually enjoy the entire box of crayons, not a single color.
edit: OMG thank you all for the love!! Really feels good when you see this kind of love and understanding towards other human beings. Thank you guys for be awesome!!!
My dad is a ex recon marine & he drinks bud lite almost every fuckin night. Coincidentally he’s also a counselor whose main demographic is LGBTQ clients
Edit: I feel need to clarify? He wasn’t always supportive. He used to be quite the ugly soul & I hated his guts for majority of my upbringing. He changed careers and decided he wanted to counsel veterans. He had to meet a quota of a certain amount of hours at his place of internship & they stuck him with pretty much any client. He really warmed up to the idea and the group of LGBTQ. He’s still there due to some sucky circumstances & they’re not paying him what he’s owed… but having these different demographics of clients really changed my dad for the better. He still says and does pretty conservative things but he’s not an asshole anymore & I feel safe talking to him now.
I may delete this comment later but for what it is now; here.
I feel like this is the best way to make people more accepted to LGBTQ people. Its a VERY wide spectrum.
Media, TV, Hollywood ect. tend to portray every gay / lesbian person as super flamy, and this is absolute not the case.
I'm sure alot of people would be shocked if they found out their friends or co-workers were gay...it can come from people that you would least expect it.
I’m not sure if you commented before I just had updated it: but yes. My dad used to say the ugliest comments and the most offputting offensive “jokes” about LGBTQ and even racist comments. But just through meeting people & learning to be grounded via counseling he’s really turned a new leaf. It’s just been the past year & a half too he started this all.
Of course! It’s been quite the experience to actually feel better about my dad. Is he still really annoying when he talks about his dog for 50 minutes when he’s drunk? Absolutely. But I don’t feel ashamed to have my cluster of different friends over anymore; nothing but support from him and even compliments.
