>>112838901This seems like bait, but whatever, I'll bite.
My dad remarried an exceptionally liberal/radical woman almost 20 years younger than him and she chipped away at a lot of his bigoted ideals, so I was able to come out in my early twenties. No big deal. The first guy I brought home was a huge fan of Dune, so it made things easier for my dad, Dune being his favorite book series of all time.
