1. Parents: You can't live with them and you would literally not be living without them.
2. Bless them, they are trying.
3. At times, maybe trying too hard.
4. Try to smile, not cringe, through the dad jokes...
5. ...or dorky mom sayings:
6. Sometimes they just want to be in on the fun:
7. Just trying to find some common ground:
so my mom, also being a lesbian, just looked at me and with the straightest face said: "we are the rainbow squad" 😂😅
8. Know that they always mean well:
Parental code for "it sounds really gay". My dad is hilarious, bless.
9. And remember, they are doing their best to understand:
10. Communication isn't easy, everyone knows that:
11. They may not be fully supportive from the start...
12. ...but when they come around and accept you for exactly who you are, there is no greater feeling.
13. Accept gifts graciously, no matter how blatantly inappropriate:
14. They want you to succeed in life, clearly:
15. They just want you to be the best you can be.
16. If you have kids one day, you're going to be just as embarrassing.
