The Gay Family?

Another angry post.

So I was having lunch with my family on Sunday, like every Sunday.
And we were having boring Sunday conversations, like every Sunday.
The topic: My sister's friend.

So my dad starts talking about his first impression about her:

"I remember that when I found out you were hanging out with her, I told myself, why would my own daughter hang out with anyone like this? I mean, her family is gay!"

Ok, now what is that supposed to mean?

"Yeah, her uncle is gay! And apparently he has a boyfriend and stuff..."

So having a boyfriend is even worst than being gay?

See, in Lebanon every family has a reputation! Thus the expression "Iben 3ayleh" (or the family son?).
For my dad (& a lot of other homophobic/ignorant Lebanese), if a member of the family is gay, the whole family's reputation is ruined! The family is gay.

Does that even make sense? Well, not for me.

And there is more!

"I gave the girl a chance. And turns out she's not like her family! She is really sweet and fun."

Gave her a chance? What's that supposed to mean?
He basically said: I am a really nice guy for opening my heart and letting the niece of a gay guy enter my house and talk to my children.

What will he do when he'll find out that the gay is actually in his house already?

Ignorance.
