MW ~ I'm sure nothing bad will happen to Sister Mary.

My dad said he was challenged about his views a lot by the sisters there. He said they were headstrong women that reminded him of my mom. He said it was overwhelming being in a room of about 30 "mom-types". I thought that was funny too because I have always thought that my mom was lesbian.

LOL Okay. Well, I wonder why didn't she go? {did you say?} Probably pretty darned bummed about missing the meetings.

LOL So you've thought that about your mom? All I can think about is when on Roseanne {the show} her mother basically 'came out' but didn't. That was funny.

So, is your dad alright with all of these revelations? And, I am glad the sisters did challenge him.

Seems you are entering a new time in your life, your parents are becoming enlightened.

{right?}

I think she was sick. But I'm not sure that she had any say about who replaced her at the meeting.

My dad had told me numerous times about inner alliances forming in different Dioceses (sp?) where the group is basically comprised of gay or lesbian folk. The previous bishop in HI for instance. He had a partner and all.

I like to think that my parents are getting enlightened. I think for the most part my dad is. But my mom asked me the other day if the next person I date is going to be a woman... Oy vey.

I've long thought that my dear mother was a lesbian. But I shrugged it off saying, 'Nah, three of us in one family? Couldn't be...' But I think she is.

It is good the church is becoming more open to different lifestyles, even within the church itself. I mean, much more healthy if people can be who they want to be instead of supressing, etc....blah blah blah.

LOL Well, ma, maybe I'll date a woman but only if she's a lesbian and has some damn hot friends.

Well....I don't think it is impossible. Complacency? {is that the word?} Just living the way she is expected to? Not recognizing her inner feelings?

Enlightenment. Sometimes it happens too late for us to benefit but as long as it happens, right? Next generations will be better off?

Ok that was a great way to start my day GC...considering some of the history you've had to work thru with your dad! I'd have paid money to see the faces of the rest of the folk when your dad said I AM Sister Mary LOL....that was a kodak moment if there ever was one.

I'm jealous of you for having a dad that is becoming more enlightened. Mine seems to be dipping lower and lower into enraged, condescending idiocy.

It's funny how people change as they age. With my own father and grandfather, they've each become kinder and more accepting of others as they approach 60 and 90 respectively. I would expect that to be more the norm as people are more exposed to different viewpoints and people as they grow older. I wonder what circumstances could cause people to go backwards figuratively as they age? Humanity is so interesting.
