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

[Jesster]

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.

No, I said the exact opposite. Please don't misinterpret my meaning. The Duggars are giving people ammo to use against LGBT people, and it is being used. That is exactly what I am frustrated about. If I was frustrated about something else, I would have said as much.

Please remix my words more to fit into your narrative though. I feel like that would continue to include me in the conversation.

Let me explain again why I am judging them. It is not simply because they have their views. It is because they are being supported so much in national media while they are spewing their words. I am also frustrated because every single time anyone has any complaint about them, someone (usually a Christian... case in point here) rushes to defend them. Before anyone says it, no I am not in favor of censorship. I mean exactly what I said before. Stop defending this vile family. They would have fallen off the media radar if people would stop rushing to their aid. Then they could just be a vile little family on their own just like everyone else with their views.

And about my parents: trust me, I am doing all that I need to do on my end. It is taking all of my patience and sanity, but I am giving them everything they need to come around. I have been doing that for several years now. I have not explained the whole scenario, so I don't need advice there either. I never asked for it.
