i don't like my childhood best friend's dad. - eviltoast

there, i said it.

it sounds mean to say, but going off of what “dave” has told me, i really don’t like how his dad sounds. his dad is very homophobic and transphobic.

there was one incident when we were 17 where dave’s dad had to sign a form and it said “gender:” with the options “male”, “female”, and “non-binary”. he freaked out.

he also forbade us to hang out at a youth center because he saw two teenage girls hugging and assumed they were in a lesbian relationship.

he got mad at dave for saying hi to a girl from his school because she had bright pink hair and he assumed she was a lesbian because of the hair (apparently, he guessed right but still.)

in fifth grade, i remember dave had a crush on me and he told dave not to associate with me because i was “ugly” and “he could find better friends”.

i wonder how he would feel about ME, his son’s best friend, if he ever found out i was a lesbian/bi. he already doesn’t like me and thinks i’m in love with dave, he’s gonna hate me a lot more when he finds out i’m in a wlw relationship.

whenever dave’s dad sees me, though, he has the nerve to say hi and smile.

just wanted to share this.
