As a kid I read these kind of things in books. I couldn't figure out how a pitcher has ears or how a door became a jar. We didn't talk like that in my house. I learned later after becoming edjumacated. My parents never lowered their voices or stopped talking when the kids entered the room. I did learn, from dear ol' mother, that hateful speech can color a kid's perception about anything or anyone. It's a good thing I had positive teachers growing up, or I wouldn't be the fabulous, humble person that I am today. Not to mention talky (in writing only).Deedleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17220174067034720943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-67641876018509407142018-07-19T08:51:00.340-04:002018-07-19T08:51:00.340-04:00Great post, and you're absolutely right!Great post, and you're absolutely right!Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-52068214115715667402018-07-19T07:49:20.325-04:002018-07-19T07:49:20.325-04:00Apparently, Google signed me out when I wrote the ...Apparently, Google signed me out when I wrote the message above. :-/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-2579767375138616642018-07-19T07:44:49.886-04:002018-07-19T07:44:49.886-04:00I didn't find out about "queers" unt...I didn't find out about "queers" until my ears were bigger...growing up, such things were whispered or implied with raised eyebrows or a limp wrist. It wasn't until much, much later that I found someone who spoke kindly about gays. By then, I was in college and the damage done. I know call out nephews when they say something's "gay" or some stupid thing like that. You never know who might be around, and what they may feel when they hear such thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-17711357655089918052018-07-19T06:03:05.996-04:002018-07-19T06:03:05.996-04:00When I was growing up, I recall some talk of older...When I was growing up, I recall some talk of older relatives discussing "queer" people and it was anything but accepting. They made it obvious that it was disgusting.I came out many years later after most of the older relatives had died. My family has been very accepting of me since learning I was gay, much more so than I thought they would be. I often wonder how the older ones would have taken the news. Had I been in an environment where they had said it was ok to be gay or it doesn't matter before I came out, it would have meant the world. Sadly, even today that is not the case for many of young people. Bullying of and suicide among LGBTQ people continues. Thankfully, organizations like the Trevor Project, are out there to assist them.BlogMarkBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055243084906096819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-52756771174765830242018-07-19T05:02:22.840-04:002018-07-19T05:02:22.840-04:00We listened from the top of the stairs, peeping th...We listened from the top of the stairs, peeping through the banistersJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-48139794505398065452018-07-19T01:51:14.341-04:002018-07-19T01:51:14.341-04:00I couldn't agree with you more, Steven.
