“Uplifting news” that once again hilights the absolutely infuriating conservative psychology of “I give absolutely zero fucks about this topic until and unless it affects me personally”.

I am glad the dude changed his ways, don’t get me wrong, but fuck me if it isn’t depressing to consider that this behavior pattern is absolute cancer, and really hard to work constructively with on a societal scale.

Hey it's cool. I came out to my parents thinking that they would have a similar "awakening."

They didn't.

So, way to go this guy, you're better than my parents. admittedly low bar, but hey, good news is good news!

Probably because their parents sucked.

Hopefully jpeterson2005 breaks the suck cycle.

Edit: or jpreston2005
