As I read your comment, I was preparing to argue with you. But that last sentence. That single word.

Yes, that is precisely what we need to do (and for many of us, to keep doing). Fight.

I grew up hardcore conservative, southern baptist, very anti non-straight etc etc.

What you just described would appall my bible thumbing parents.

My folks found me looking at “objectionable” porn too. They didn’t get weird about it. The old man just talked with me about sexuality and privacy and of course God as well.

My upbringing sucked. And I have a lot of issues with my folks. But what you’re describing went beyond even what I went through, and I thought my folks were fully crazy.

Good luck fam. You’ll be alright.

They used their religion to justify callous behavior and invasions of privacy.
