Knowledge Changes Everything

My father is a very conservative, church going, man in his mid 50’s. He’s always been against the fight to give homosexual people the same freedoms that heterosexual people enjoy.

I showed him the stories and videos on this site. He had no idea you could be fired from your job for being gay. He thought civil unions were the same thing as marriage. He didn’t know couples raising kids together can have those kids taken away. He hadn’t thought about couples where one is from another country at all.

Reading though the stories on this site, watching the videos, he has changed his stance completely. He still thinks being gay is wrong, but has decided gay marriage should definitely be legal.

This is a huge step for someone I thought would be entirely too stuck in his ways to change. A little knowledge, with an open mind, can turn even those who wouldn’t normally support something completely around.
