All told? I spent seven fairly content hours in and around the normal Christmas mayhem; when it became obvious that my marriage was dead, I got asked if I was gay. My answer of 'You mean I've got to choose a side?' got guffaws. They're not threatened by my oddness... they just know I can take it just as well as I can dish it out, which makes me one of the family. These folk are good people. They know who they are, and are content to not tell other folk how to live just as long as THEY don't get told how to live. Rough, raw, and rowdy, every last one of them has a code of honor, blunt as it may be, that hits in the same ballpark as my own.
Sounds about like my family.. most of them are staunch Christians (I may add "REAL" here too, since they practice what they preach unlike a lot of them).. I'm undecided (more or less disillusioned), and had looked into wicca, and druidism, and still undecided as to what my path is... Also, bisexual (though only my brother and closest cousin- who is a lesbian- know)I married a pagan, have a gay friend that my parents have met- and accepted... If my parents found out that I "swing both ways" I think they'd still support me, even though they wouldn't quite approve... they already know about my cuz, and she hasn't been ostracized... I love my family... :)
