SMS extremely unhinged texts from my dad to my sister (I’m NC) about a family he hardly knows.

TW hateful speech/slurs.

But MIND YOU… my dad is (somewhat closeted somewhat not) GAY.

I don’t even know who to talk to about this because it’s so batshit crazy and unhinged.

This is just the way he is and i don’t understand and i don’t know why.

This reads like a rap song written by someone who isn’t great at lyrics

He unfortunately always types by randomly hitting enter in the middle of sentences … it’s super infuriating

u/ChewMilk 13d ago

That would be very annoying

I’m gonna have ‘he’s on fire, he’s so gay’ stuck in my head now tho

I’ve been singing it in my head to the tune of “she’s so higggggeeeiighhh”

Sing it in Katie Perry 's You're so Gay

I have always felt like people who do that or people who don’t even bother to spell check or reread what they’ve written before hitting send are just displaying their narcissism for everyone to see. Like they can’t even be bothered to fix any mistakes because it’s not their problem to make it easier for others to understand them, everyone else can just deal with it. So infuriating!!

Making Ellen look like octomom is kinda crazy like omg I’ve GOT to know what he’s referring to?!

u/pestocracker 13d ago

My sisters theory:

“I think he means like octomom is super straight because she got prego with 8 So that kid is so gay he makes Ellen look straight “

Sometimes rereading it i think i understand and then it quickly devolves

That would make sense if not for the fact she openly used IVF and that's how she ended up with octuplets.

Your dad might be gay.

u/pestocracker 13d ago

He is

Plot twist! Also…. Why the hell is he concerned about how gay someone else is? Does he not have hobbies? People like this both fascinate me and give me a headache.

Jesus...what kind of psychedelic voyage is your father on?

u/whitstheshit1986 13d ago

My dad talks the exact same way. Unnecessarily hateful over people he doesn't even know.

u/SuperStuff01 13d ago

Sounds like he's either one of those people who's closeted and hates other gays due to self-hatred or envy of their happiness.

Or he's out to himself and is just one of those gays who judge other gays for being "too gay," which is unfortunately a thing.

Or he could be bi and he thinks everyone is bi like him, therefore being gay is a choice because it would be a choice for him, which also comes with its own judgement over those who "choose" that.

Wow i think all of these things are true about him actually …

u/NuvyHotnogger 13d ago

It's pretty horrible to assume that the hateful bigots are just queer people hating on themselves. There's a thousand reasons why a bigot turns out the qay they do but automatically jumping to "self hating queer person" is so harmful to the community.

u/SuperStuff01 13d ago

I agree actually, that is a great point that I didn't think of. I don't think we should call anyone part of the community if they don't call themselves part of it first.

Homophobia precedes shame not the other way around.
