His Family

[spedyboy18]

Ok, so I haven't written in this in forever, but I've decided to pick it up again. However, it is going to take a different tone. From now on I will just have a random question/thought of the day/week/month/however long it takes me to update

I'm pretty sure that would be a very serious problem. But here's the kicker for me: it would be tough, but doable for me if it was the parents' issue, meaning that they knew about their son's gaydom and had chosen not to accept that, and knew he was in a relationship and chosen not to acknowledge that. It would mean I would be on a sleigh ride to marry into an unpleasant family, which is not something I'm interested in doing, and would require a lot of serious thought and serious determination, but at the same time, it wouldn't be a dealbreaker.

If it was the fellow I was dating, though, that couldn't muster up the guts to say "I'm gay" or "I'm seeing this wonderful guy and I want you to meet him" -- that's just plain flat-out lame. If he keeps coming up with excuses, and he won't tell them because of this that and the other, and he won't take me to meet them because he's scared, that means it's a "no balls" scenario, which is flat out unacceptable.

But yes, I would be infinitely more comfortable marrying into a family that was willing to welcome me in.
