My dad is improving for the better

Just thought I’d share the cutest thing ever.My dad used to be a very stereotypical, Gen X Aussie Bloke™️. He was... okay enough when I came out as queer (then as trans later on), but really struggled with knowing how to treat me. He still made a lot of fg and trnny jokes and didn’t understand why they upset me.Eventually he and my mother split up, and he’s doing so, SO well. My younger sibling recently came out as non-binary and he rarely ever slips up with their name and pronouns. He always introduces them and myself as his “kids” instead of his daughters, and he doesn’t pretend to understand - he just accepts. And he curbs the deliberately offensive humour!My younger sibling only has one good friend, who’s parents are incredibly racist and homophobic. She has a girlfriend, who is also trans, and we’re all waiting for the day she gets kicked out of home.Of course, I was worried for the friend, and asked my sibling if she had anywhere to go. Apparently they had already asked my dad if the friend could stay at his place and he said of course!Tl;dr: My father has gone from casually discriminatory to an ally who opens his home to homeless queer kids. I love him so much. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Nu4ujI
