Duggar Fuctards Can't Wait For The End of the World

[Kingpin]

I can certainly understand your position based on this, but keep in mind it is your parents choices that are affecting you.  Have you tried to have a conversation with your parents about how this affects you?  I encourage my children to have respectful and honest discourse with us and we often discuss how they feel, where they agree and disagree with us, etc.  I also encourage my children to be their own people and not rely solely on mom and dad or one source, but to strive for knowledge in all areas and make informed decisions.

Yes, I have tried to have many conversations with my parents. They are far too stubborn about this. My voice is far smaller than the Duggars. I recognize that my parents had a choice in this, but my point is that it is the words of the Duggars that are being regurgitated. How many other parents of LGBT children are doing the same? I could care less what the Duggars do in their own home (with the exception of the scandal), but when it affects families across this country, you better bet that I will judge them. That's the only way things change.

I find it difficult to fault you in your logic.  Considering your parents hard stance on the LGBT issue and it seemingly being a regurgitation of words espoused by the Duggars, I can understand your frustration on it.  However, I feel what you are most upset with is the stance itself and not directly those espousing it.  The Duggar's stance on LGBT issues is not unique to them.  They may be in the most public view of all those that carry those same stances, but it is not solely their view.  

I may be classified as "judging" your parents but I could say I feel your parents are wrong on this.  But honestly that is my opinion.  All I can tell you is continue to tell them (with full emotion) the pain and frustration that their stance has on you in your life.  More importantly how it shapes your vision of them as loving parents.  Be honest.  The words will hurt and probably both ways.  Note that you are NOT doing this with a motivation to CHANGE their view, but only to make them understand how that view and words/actions used to express that view directly effects your life.  They may then realize the weight of the words and actions and could elect to change those while not modifying their opinion and point of view.
