Re: The LGBT "Agenda"

I posted at the end of the UO thread that my dad disagreed with my reaction to the Girl Scout story.  We've been emailing back and forth about it since last night and he just now sent a message saying, "Ok, I guess I might be wrong."  WHAAAAAAAAAAT??  I don't think I've EVER known that man to admit being wrong about something!  I can't believe I actually convinced him to consider another point of view.  I know he's only one man, but I feel like I just changed the world a little bit!  LOL!

    Good for you! Changing one mind at a time is how things get done! It makes me happy that our kids might grow up in a more tolerant world.

    I like your style!  Don't have any cheesecake, but I'm thinking tonight would be a good night to toss in that crumbly, gooey apple pie that's been taunting me from my freezer for the last week.  Yummmmm!  :)

    I couldn't agree more. I'm really proud that you were able to dialogue with your dad and open his mind. Way to go!

    No snark here, but do you think he actually is having a change of heart or is it possible he's backing down for the sake of squashing the argument?

    He doesn't back down.  You can argue with the man until you're blue in the face; I have other debates going on with him that we started - I'm not kidding - when I was in high school.  If he thinks he's right, he's not giving in.  A trait I clearly inherited from him.  ;-)

    Good to know my sense of humor has returned seeing that my mind immediately went to a dirty place with that. *giggle*

    I'm pretty sure I missed something.  What is this supposed LGBT agenda, and what has been goign on on this board.

    I am assuming you have views similar to mine (tolerance is good- treating gay people like second class citizens is bad).  However, since I have no idea what this is in reference, I would love to be clued in.

    Yesterday someone shared a link to a story about Girl Scouts accepting transgendered girls.  The vast majority of bumpies were thrilled by this, but there was one who said she was disappointed in the decision, and asked where our "morals" were.  It was brought up again today in the UO Thursday post, and the same girl said she "does not buy into the whole LGBT Agenda craze."

    I shared the Girl Scout story on fb yesterday and most of my fb friends agreed with the choice to support equality, but my dad was not on board.  He was very misinformed about transgender, so I taught him what he did not know, and he changed his mind!  Woop woop!

    Kudos to both of you for having a mature conversation about something you disagreed on!

    And kudos to your dad for being willing to become informed and change his mind instead of sticking to his old way of thinking just to be stubborn!
