#i cant imagine them kicking their kids out and going beserk

[enbymike]

I know that the Wheelers had a Reagan/Bush sign outside their house, but I just can’t imagine them being violently homophobic. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think they’re anywhere near as supportive as the Byers’ are, but not as bad as some people make them out to be.

They’d be confused, yeah, but in my eyes Karen would support her kids to the best of her ability even if she didn’t fully “get it.” I mean, she’s lived her life regretting marrying someone she doesn’t love so I think she’d have some compassion for LGBT people. And she’s shown time and time again to want to support both Mike and Nancy no matter what.

I can’t even picture Ted going out of his way to kick one of his kids out. To be honest, he strikes me as the type of man to sigh and make an aimed comment, but not bother to do anything about it. He’s all talk but he takes it from what he hears on the news. I wouldn’t say he’d be supportive but that extends to basically everything involved with his kids since he’s so emotionally absent. He’s a bad father for sure, but I can’t picture him getting violent with his kids over their sexuality.
