#grandpa may have never cursed but he showed me where he hid his gin

Just got back from father's day with my family. My cousin has a nonbinary suite mate for her freshman year of college so I just spent the last forty minutes trying to explain they/them pronouns to my aunt, uncle, and grandma. My aunt asked me specifically. Mom backed me up because she's a good ally, but I'm spent.
I went over to my cousin to tell her that I was explaining it to her mom because I thought she'd be cool and maybe appreciate me tackling this conversation. FOOLISH ME because my cousin thinks it's weird and distracts from academics and I am just fucking done.
I had to explain my uncle that not wanting to know about someone's "gay lifestyle" isn't an opinion, it's homophobia and not respecting someone's pronouns is fucking rude. Then grandma told me a story about how my grandfather never cursed.
Anyway that's why I'll never be out to my family.
