Need advice...

Hi :) I need some advice...
bạn see, my step-dad is against being gay (he's kinda old so he was brought up with gay = bad policy), and it's annoying me.
Now, I'm straight (I think), but I happen to support gay rights and I tend to watch a read stuff about gay people (like, my favourite couple in the world is a fictional gay couple)
Now, I know I can't convince him to tình yêu it, but I want to try to get him to be thêm open-minded about it, hoặc at least get him to stop making faces when I watch the T.V hiển thị Glee hoặc the musical RENT.
Please help me?

My dad is the same way.

bạn can't change people's opinions (or at least, if bạn want to try, be in for the long haul, but I wouldn't recommend it with family), but bạn can change their reactions. If you're comfortable enough, I'd suggest sitting down with your step dad and explaining to him how it bothers bạn when he has that attitude towards something bạn enjoy. Tell him you're not trying to change his views, but that he doesn't have to watch the same shows that bạn do, and bạn would appreciate it if he didn't make any "faces" (if bạn will) when bạn do, hoặc tell him bạn do.

Even though you're family, and care about each other, bạn ARE two different people and are allowed to have differing viewpoints. Tell him that bạn respect his, and all that bạn ask is that he respect yours.

lots of people of an older generation have the same feelings as your step-dad, just talk to him and tell him that the way he reacts to gay people is upsetting for you.

i think that bạn should tell him to respect your opinion and stop making a big deal about something like this EVERY time it comes up. He doesn't have to beleive in gay rights and stuff BUT he should still respect your opinion and stop making faces.

P.S. RENT is AWESEOME!!
P.P.S. KURT RULES!!!! (so does Blaine!)
