Living in 2021, you would think everyone would be past the whole "anti-gay" thing. Unfortunately not, and homophobia is still very much alive and well. While society still has a lot of work to do on this critical issue, the ways it plays out in family dynamics can be equally damaging in many ways. A woman posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole, asking if she was wrong to call her father out on his 'fragile masculinity,' following a homophobic remark he made during her most recent visit. She had put The Wiggles on to keep her one-year-old entertained—her child's favorite show, but one which her father claimed was 'creepy.' His justification? 'Because, to sing and dance and smile like that as a full-grown man, you have to be gay. That's not the kind of people you want around kids.' Um, no, sir. Fully-grown homophobes like you are not the kind of people you want around kids.
As you can imagine, Redditors jumped to defend the OP, reassuring her that her father's homophobic comment was out of line, and she was right to call him out on it.
And what's worse, she explains that her mom tried to defend her father and make her daughter apologize for upsetting him, because that's just 'how he is'. Not cool dad, not cool.
