I’m not going to judge how other people respond- but in my situation my family has been terrible to my trans friends and girlfriend and so I would feel rude asking them to go there again or ask new people to go

I don't really have queerphobic family, but my racist grandpa just died and I had already cut him off over it before I met my partner (latino), but it was an added relief that I had cut him off before I felt any pressure to introduce him to my partner

My phobic family does not get the privilege of being involved in my love life. I also suspect one member in particular could be dangerous, so keep that in mind before any of you centrist types tell me to build bridges or some shit

nope my family would be polite to their face and then talk shit as soon as they're out of the room. I stopped introducing any person in my life to them by the time I was in high school bc of this. tbf they'd do this regardless of if someone is queer but also sometimes they just use it as an avenue to make fun of me in front of others

i’ll invite them but i don’t expect that they come. being from a conservative area, i’ve met many of my queer friends queerphobic family members (and some of them have met mine). i wouldn’t want them to have to see their family alone, so i give them the opportunity to reciprocate.

My parents told me I wasn’t allowed to come out bc it would kill my grandmas and my best friend is trans and is visibly queer, once I started hanging out with him both of my grandmas figured out I was gay. The one who was MAGA started trying to educate herself more and tells me that she now tells her friends that a trans person saved her granddaughter’s life and that they aren’t inherently evil (which is honestly a win with where we started with her)
