my sibkid cam is having a crisis rn and my grandparents are thinking the worst of them. i'd like to defend them, but idk how to. Cam is bisexual and they have dated more women than men, and my grandma is believing that Cam has been coming onto them and believes that has happened again, but literally in every situation they were dating, had an issue and ended while they were out someplace leading them not to hang out.
I asked my grandma to stop thinking the worst of Cam, b/c while she doesn't know the reality, I do. Cam is comfortable talking to me, and is afraid to talk about dating women and being Non-Binary b/c my grandparents are more traditional and homophobic/genderphobic/lbtqphobic, etc. you get the jist. I just want to help my grandma understand that it isn't a single party situation without outing Cam, idk what I can do beyond what I've already done without creating a commotion.

So it sounds like Cam isn't out to them yet. That being the case I would talk in theoreticals and for/about the population of lgbtq people in general. Maybe you could bring the topic up by talking about an article you read and its shocking info. I would try to get them to understand the perspective of an lgbtq person, or talk about what if you had been lgbtq. Possibly even bringing up a person you know and some struggles they face. I am also non-binary and gay although I haven't ever really had to face any direct discrimination, this is just something that I would try to do. I know you don't want to cause a fight, but in the event you have to choose between them and Cam, I STRONGLY recommend you choose Cam. I wish you all much luck and hope this helps. 👍
it does, but i will for sure choose cam every time. they are my best friend and I love them. but still id like to remain civil with both parties. Thank you, I will try the article thing and see how it goes!
