Look, it's the middle ages!

There's someone I have been friend with on Facebook I never talk to and I only friended because we went to a web design seminar together. I keep her hidden, because I know she's a homophobic bigot, but every now and then I check her timeline for new gems.

And oh, she didn't disappoint. She detests that one gay Italian politician is raising a kid with his partner, and between all the classic homophobic comments, she also claimed tghat he will never know what real parenthood is because the only bond that matters is the one created through pregnancy.

I was tempted to say something but then kept my thoughts to themselves. What a terrible thing to say. How disrespectful to parents and children in non-traditional and expanded families.

It saddens me to know that there's someone out there, in 2017, who's teaching their kid that love is conditional.

Ugh, I can't stand people like that. I have some coworkers like that, and it makes me rage whenever they make homophobic comments. I feel like I can't say anything cause I'm not *out* to people at work, and I know how people here can be. It's frustrating dealing with people who still think like that. :(

Ugh, she sounds like a piece of work DX

Ugh! Nice to know that, according to her, people shouldn't adopt children. I don't understand people who disrespect loving families because they're not "traditional".

That's got to be the dumbest thing I ever heard anyone say. So, does she think about the same thing about foster and adopted parents?

So, basically, no cis father can have a bond with his child, because last time I checked, only one parent out of two gets pregnant. :-P

Sì  vabbé e le adozioni allora? Qua siamo proprio alle basi... Ne usciremo mai?
