"Angry this morning over parents who try to force their gay or transgendered children to be straight or cisgendered. Or, hell. Parents who force children who wear blue socks when they want to wear green socks. What the hell ever. Parents who hold their love hostage, who dangle it like a carrot on a stick."
Is this, in part, brought on by the latest episode of Project Runway? Because I felt exactly the same after watching the home visits. Regardless of the spark that set it off, it's an important thing to say -- and it certainly makes me infinitely glad to have my own parents.
Also, I finally have my copy of The Ammonite Violin & Others (I had it shipped to my parents' home and didn't end up there until [Canadian] Thanksgiving) and, though I've only begun, it's absolutely breath-taking. I feel like I could lose myself in its pages. So thank you, as always.
