There's nothing wrong with being gay. I wish Disney still made good movies like that.

[the_gabih]

I know there isn't, but... yeah. My family doesn't get that.

And oh my goodness, word- though I've got high hopes for Toy Story 3 (at the very least, if it's not brilliant after 11-odd years, I will actually cry).

/BUTTS IN
TS3 is epic. I cried thrice during the movie. ;_; Just sayin'.

[the_gabih]

I CRIED TOO
WHICH PARTS BROKE YOU?

Reflection is a beautiful song and I love it because of that line, that sentiment.

There's a lot of fear in being yourself and worry parents will not accept us for who we are, but sadly, that's one of those life issues that you have to deal with as you grow up and make your won decisions.

Have a little faith?

[the_gabih]

In them? Always. In their attitudes towards my sexuality? Not so much. They hold the 'traditional' Christian view on alternate sexualities, and my Mum's even said that bisexuality's worse than homosexuality, because in her words, 'it's like flicking a switch'.

But yes, the song is beautiful. I do love Mulan so.

[sabriel75]

My parents don't approve of many lifestyles and I am not going to lie, it's taken them years, years to accept me for who I am, but they have never allowed that to keep them from helping when I needed it and always trying to be there as best they could. Sometimes, we forget love can be the strongest denominator of all. (But also, know that I completely understand if you feel that you cannot ever share that with them. :D)

Also, come leave me a comment here for me so that I can write you something now even though I have plans to finish that Sherlock Holmes/Death Note fic I promised you two years ago. It will happen! So Y/Y?! Come put me out of my misery?

[the_gabih]

...okay, that makes me more hopeful. Dankeshen. :)

I'm not going to listen to that first song because I suspect it would also reduce me to a sobbing wreck, and I'm at work here ^^

*hugs for the reason about the third one* I don't know what I can say without sounding trite or like "OMG I totes know it will be fine even though I know nothing about your family lol", but I'm sorry that it makes you cry for that reason.

[the_gabih]

Yeah, I'd say it's probably pretty NSFW- or any public place, for that matter.

*hugs back* I'm... hoping it'll work out. Maybe. At any rate, it's nice to know that friendly people have my back. :)

[versipellis]

People's feelings on such issues can change as time goes by... and all parents have to live with their children not being exactly who they wanted them to be. I know it must still hurt that the situation is as it is, but... I guess I'm trying to say, it is reasonable to hope it will work out, and hopefully it will? And yes, lots of people have your back ^^

[orrien]

Second time crying in ten minutes, woo. I've always loved that first song.

As for your comments on the third...I sympathise and think it's wonderful there's enough love and trust for you to have been open and honest with them. I don't know your parents well enough to say for sure, but I think that must have meant a lot for them, and I'm sure they're trying to love you for every piece of who you are.

You should never be ashamed of who you are, even if you can't be totally honest with people about it. You're a more amazing person than I have words for, so. Cry if you want, but make sure some of it's for happiness at how fantastic God made you.

[the_gabih]

...have I told you you're one of my favourite ever people yet? Because if I haven't, then clearly I've been doing something wrong.

*hugs you tight*

[orrien]

Your icon is adorable.

I'm not sure we're Frodo and Sam, though. More Merry and Pippin.

*hugs back*

[the_gabih]

You're right, but I don't have an icon for that, so... yeah.
