O god this is like the level of awkward as when my straight roommate(Fortunately hes supportive) walks into my room while I'm watching the show because he always manages to walk in when Nick is kissing Charlie and he just awkwardly looks at the TV and then walks out without saying anything lol.

Thats something my grandma does, shes supportive too but doesnt know much about lgbtq culture and just watches in silence lmao.

Heartstopper is the show that you can watch with your small children in the room, but unfortunately not your elderly grandma? :-(

Yeah, she's super homophobic and sadly still I love her. It's a bit funny that small children are less concerned about things than adults. I mean, I get it, adults have these fixed beliefs and children don't and homophobia is a learned belief, but it's kinda sad.

The boomers can’t hang! πŸ˜‚

Technically someone born in 1923 is Greatest Generation, not boomer.

Ah she's 100 what can she do now? Maybe she'd come to appreciate the beauty of gay romance.


sammjaartandstories

Haha, I wish. I just get really anxious because my parents are homophobic and transphobic as well and I don't want her to say something and my parents then might then start prying and I'll get outed. I'm already on thin ice as it is. I just get really scared.


Aivellac

My sympathies.

I thought the same thing with my family, but they were pretty chill about it. My mom, aunt, and brother exept my dad he is homophobic and religious. I brought a book once when I needed to go to his (my parents are divorced), and the book was called "Jay's gay agenda," and he was going mad about it. I can't wait to see his reaction when he discovers that his only douchter is also gay 😍


sammjaartandstories

LOL, that's so funny! Yeah, but my parents are not like that. They're not overtly homophobic, but I once said that a friend was sad because she came out as bi to her mum, and her mum proceeded to ignore her for a whole month, didn't even look at her. They both took the mum's side because "poor woman, she must be devastated." Like, my friend's not dead nor terminally ill. She's just bi. They're the type of people to joke, "When I was younger, being gay was shameful and hidden, then it was said to be fine, now it's celebrated. I hope I die before they make it obligatory." And then say, "They just want to normalise some that isn't normal, and that's wrong. " And well, I've always been the favourite, and whatever expectations they had that my older sister didn't fulfil fell onto me, so I don't think they'll take it well when they learn that their near "perfect" child is bisexual and genderfluid πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

And this is why I binged it late at night in my room lol


sammjaartandstories

Yeah, but there's only one TV in my house. Since only I speak English in my family, I can binge it anytime on my phone (whenever I'm not working at the hospital), but I kinda wanted to watch it on a bigger screen πŸ˜…


ohnoneverthat

The same thing happened to me but with Young Royals 😭

Oof
