Chaz Bono on "Oprah" today and my parents' reactions

[promisemewings]

Chaz Bono is on "Oprah" today talking about his journey from a woman into a man, and how his mother reacted to it. And my parents' reactions to this are kind of disappointing and disheartening

I watched For the Bible Tells Me So in a class. It was very well done.

Heh. My mother made a comment last night...something about "oh, so she decided to have that 'operation', she's not a woman anymore?" Very gently, repeatedly, I had to tell her that no, Ma, he never really was a woman and yes, Ma, this operation is just changing his inside to match his outside. I have to laugh about it or I'll just cry, being half-gay (bi) myself. She understands Gay. She just doesn't comprehend anything outside of that.
