In my experience, Waffle House’s radical acceptance of all patrons extends to queer and trans people too. While visiting a Waffle House in bumblefuck super-conservative South Carolina, a man started verbally harassing a trans woman. It wasn’t super loud, but you could tell it was clearly not a good situation. Immediately (and I mean immediately), one of the cooks turned to the harasser and told him to stop, and our waitress—an old white lady with an intense southern drawl—left our table in the middle of taking our order, stormed over and scolded the man, and immediately kicked him out with the help of other staff.

They then turned around and checked on the woman, asked if she was ok, gave her the meal for free, told her that she’ll always be safe and welcome at their Waffle House, and said she could stay as long as she needed before heading out. 

Waffle House is one of the best institutions in America, truly.

i dont understand this at all and america scares the fuck out of me

For a short stint I was swiping right on rural gays within 50 mi of Dallas, thinking I'd live some weird version of this fantasy, but then I met my would-be-husband (who I am very happy with).

*sigh* But I still wonder what it'd be like to date one of them Carhartt-wearin, whiskey-drinkin', cow-handlin' good ole boys

You know, my parents are staunchly homophobic. And for whatever reason, I felt as if I owed it to them to come out as gay (as if it were a requirement). But I often wonder whether I should've.

After coming out, it took a very long time for them to come to terms with it. I knew they wouldn't react with violence, but I did think they would possibly kick me out of the house. Turns out, they didn't do that either, but I was subject to a lot of hate in that house.

I would describe their reaction as grief. Four of the five stages were there: denial, anger, bargaining, and depression. (They still struggle with acceptance.)

Denial:

"It's a phase."

"I can't imagine you doing that."

Anger:

"Don't bring that thing into the house again."

"How do you expect you'll get a job if you're gay?"

Bargaining:

"If you just tried it with a girl, you will like it."

"I pray that one day you'll wake up and be straight."

Depression:

"Now I'll never have grandchildren."

"Our family is so fucked up: drug addiction, death, and now a gay son."

It's been almost 10 years since I told them I was gay (and I got married 6 months ago), and my parents and I are obviously not as close as we were before. I live across the country now, and I only talk with them when I want to.

While both of them now say they support me (with the caveat that "they don't like it") they still say homophobic things every once in a while, and they've never apologized for what they've said in the past.

Looking back, I often wonder whether I'd be happier if I never told them. That way, they'd find out for themselves, and they'd have to deal with it on their own instead of harrass me for years.

"How do I come out to my extremely homophobic parents?" Don't. Don't! I know you feel like you're suffocating right now but listen, you won't be a teenager forever. Soon enough you will have your own place and be your own individual and find your own people, and get this, you don't even ever have to talk to them (your parents). Hang in there for just a little bit longer and then you will be freer than you ever could have imagined but don't put yourself in danger.
