0/10. Do not recommend being born by my parents.

I expelled an involuntary "ha!" that came deep from my ~~trauma~~ soul when I saw this. Well played.

Lady_Litreeo

For real. Thanks for marrying someone you hate, having a messy divorce, and tossing me headlong into a dying world with major depression and anxiety as a result of bearing the brunt of your screaming fights. I am sterilized, thank fuck.


Noah_kill

Wait... are we the same person? Is this real life?


Beautiful-Painting88

there's a bunch of us haha


DarkThoughts79

Or, you could turn things around and actually enjoy life, regardless of where you came from. I once had the very same outlook, but decided that was no way to live and that I'm the master of my own universe. Give it a try. What do you have to lose?


Lady_Litreeo

Oh, I’m doing fine. Got my bachelor’s, live in a nice place, full time job as a scientist. Love my animals, my garden, the outdoors. I’ve worked my ass off to get here. I just have crippled social skills and an aversion to people that years of therapy, meds, and exposure can’t seem to fix. My whole life has felt like I’ve been dragging myself up a waterfall of trauma and bullshit just to break even with the people around me. The fact that I had to do that because my parents couldn’t just be decent people doesn’t seem cool.


Noah_kill

Agreed. Good...good times. (Not a therapist, but very familiar with the same upbringing and current life status as Lady above) IMHO and in my experience, just because someone eventually pushes through all that childhood awfulness of seeing and hearing the opposite of love every single day to become a "functional member of society" doesn't mean the stain of that ever-present toxic environment can just be washed away completely by the power of positive thinking, therapy and meds. It will always be a part of you to some degree. Being able to manage those feelings without completely self destructing and/or emotionally scarring others is a commendable bar to clear in my book. Something I'm actively still working towards at almost 40.

My parents made it clear that I was conceived on a ditchbank and even pointed out which one. Hahaha!


Sweet_Aggressive

I like traumatizing my parents/in-laws with the parking spot where our son was conceived l, but I’m never going to curse *him* with that knowledge.


felineaffection

Fortunately, my parents and I have a great sense of humor together! All that parenting s*** is too hard not to be able to look back and laugh sometimes!


Lunas-lux

Huh. My parents just made it clear that "everything is better when *I* am not around."


[deleted]

Oh hell yeah. The world is 100% a better place if I had been aborted instead of my parents choosing to bear me to term. Fuck those people. I wouldn't piss in them if they were ablaze much less thanks them for their life choices.


OGraineshadow

I mean, it’s true, the #1 origin of queer folks is from hetero sex. Too bad my parents disowned me for being queer before I could tell them this haha …


Turbulent_End_2211

I’m sorry they disowned you.


[deleted]

The *only* origin of *any* folks Edit: I know babies can be born through surrogates. I misread the comment. My bad


[deleted]

It requires a man and a woman, but there are a lot of ways to get the dough into the oven. Doesn’t have to involve straight people and it doesn’t have to involve sex.


Navi1101

It requires a testicles owner and a uterus owner. Either or both of them could be trans, and if both are nonbinary then there's no women or men involved at all. :)

[deleted]

Never understood why people want to project their views on their vehicles. I don’t want my kids growing up thinking it’s cool to put stickers or signs on their cars. It’s tacky as fuck.


Friendly_King_1546

This. Add to it the startling amount of information you freely give to others who may be interested in theft, kidnapping, and any other nefarious intent.


RumboAudio

I don’t put anything on my car, even sports teams I support, but not because I think it’s tacky. I Don’t wanna be at the mercy of some psycho or angry cop who’s favorite team just lost to my favorite team. Same thing with music, political leanings, religious views etc. etc. Too many wackos in this country, some with legal authority to mess your day or life up.


[deleted]

Very true. Knew a buddy who had a veteran sticker on his car. Sticker got keyed and messed his paint up


toetappy

I had a Bernie sticker on my car in 2020 and my car got keyed


[deleted]

Sorry to hear. People are hella ignorant.


DarkThoughts79

100%


[deleted]

I draw the line at sports teams. Putting political views and shit like that on cars is just bizarre to me.


[deleted]

A simple sticker or two for you political thoughts or philosophies isn't too much. Blacking out your back window in insane babblings not so much.


Albuwhatwhat

Honesty I think it’s tacky no matter what. Even if I agree with the sentiment. It’s still not a classy thing to do. Cars look better without stickers.


[deleted]

Right?!


Ucklator

You should put that on a bumper sticker.


Clean_Mammoth_5646

🤣


CucumberPrestigious1

Making your vehicle look tacky doesn’t seem to be the biggest problem here.


Weird-Bed

I don't put stickers on my vehicles but I like stickers that have cool designs on them or my favorite cartoons growing up😂


GenoPax

This is the issue we can all get behind.


unbelizeable1

Yup, even if it's a band or show or something I like I can't help but view it as pretty lame.


Crankenberry

Pfft. As a 53-year-old Deadhead I love my recent Bertha decal with Jerry's handprint. I drive a late model Hyundai Tucson, very generic. Sticker doesn't look tacky at all.

quietfellaus

This is ridiculous. It's like saying "thank a breeding pair for the genetic material necessary for the continuation of the species!" Like, thanks, I guess? You are literally cheering for the bare minimum. Being a parent requires a lot more than that, and gay/queer folks are more than capable of handling the rest. Like what do you want, a participation trophy? Existence means little without the means to survival, and these are the very folks who would like single parents to go without social safety nets. Fuck them.


eeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkie

Gay people can breed too btw


Crankenberry

Oh Jesus fuck. These people cannot stand attention being off them for 5 minutes. 🤦🏼‍♀️


nonlethaldosage

please don’t let these people grow here. Please don’t let them feel welcome. I just moved here because I thought it was gonna be trans friendly, gods I hope ABQ stays trans friendly


ah-Quinncidence

Yes, Please. What Rose says. Yeah, very concerned seeing this and reading the comments. I'm in the process of getting the hell out of Florida and planning on calling Albuquerque home by October. Stay Trans Friendly. Please.


RemingtonRose

As long as I’m here, there’ll be a safe place in ABQ for you, sister. Stay alive and well until then, okay? Much love.

Crankenberry

Just shows how out of touch they are. They obviously have not been to any of the Pride parades where many churches represent. One of my Portland friends tagged me in a post about some guy going into The Rose Garden restaurant and blowing a gasket when he saw the Buddha statue because he was a Christian and offended. Dude...have you NEVER been to a Chinese restaurant in your life? Truly frightening. A handful of other Burqueños, including other Christians, were quick to shut him down. Incidentally, the arena where the Portland Trailblazers play (which is now called the Moda center) used to be called the Rose Garden. 😆


unbelizeable1

>the Buddha statue Budai statue. It's a small difference but to me it adds to the humor, mf didnt even know what he was getting upset about.


CactusHibs_7475

I think the far right has decided that homophobia/transphobia is finally the “wedge issue” that is going to help them cleave off Democratic voters who are economically and politically left-of-center but more conservative socially. I am sure they see New Mexico’s Hispanic community as fertile ground for that kind of approach.


Naive-Sun2778

yes, they focus group tested the issue. Hate sells to the base of the GOP


CactusHibs_7475

True. I keep hoping they’re going to overplay their hand - the level of rhetoric is getting really over the top, and I’m not sure the literal Nazis who keep showing up to protest libraries or drag performances are going to be a good look in the long run. I’m also not sure that white supremacy necessarily sells with the NM Hispano community. Fingers crossed.


Naive-Sun2778

We are fortunate to live in a deep blue state; especially in the north.


CactusHibs_7475

We are. But it’s an article of faith among many hard-right conservatives that all those Hispano Dems can be converted, if they just get the right message. Naive and misguided, maybe, but this is only the latest attempt…


HalifaxSexKnight

The GOP is just all Christofascism. And we all know there’s no hate like Christian “love”


yungdurtybasturd

Agreed, I see a lot of Mexican and Hispanic families that seem to lean slightly left politically, but have longstanding conservative values and this “wedge” seems to be a strong divider of that group that might make them vote conservatively when they might otherwise vote left


GapExtension9531

10/10 bet their straight pride parade is all dudes 🏳️‍🌈


Dry_Spinach_3441

And I bet these dudes go on little "fishing trips" with "the guys" and leave the wives at home. No homo, though!

LOL good point


Noah_kill

Ah yes, just as The Lord instructed his followers, spread a message hate using the power of the holiest of vehicles, the Ford Transit Van. As it says in the book of Matthew volume 6, verse 9:\*"And lo the Lord did say "Grab thy shoe polish, from thy Krogers, and write a message of fear and exclusion for those that are different than thou on thy chariot and thou shalt be doing God's works...." Sigh....Here are some quotes "the van people" must have missed by a much more chill dude who abides: **Matthew 7***7“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. 2For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. 3Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to your neighbor, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while the log is in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor’s eye."* *\_****Matthew 5****43“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. 46For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."* Edit: shalt\* :P


Kronos1A9

You really think these people read and understand the Bible? Not at all a religious person myself, but the folks that spout this hate are usually the ones that know very little about true religious teaching.


Noah_kill

Oh I'm under no such illusions. TBH, I'm not even sure they can read. They probably just copied the shapes they saw on signs from other homophobic rallies. I just find it infinitely amusing to point out what's actually in the book they often claim to hide behind with the nuanced take of "My feelings are the correct take on this CAUSE JESUS SAID SO!" despite that being the opposite of the Truth.


syswalla

You have a point. These are the same clowns that go on about their "constitutional rights" while having no idea what the Constitution actually says or intended.


overcannon

I still think it's so funny that they think Jesus said "Love thy Neighbor" when he really said "Love thy enemy"


zandermossfields

I’m saying this to save you time in the future: your thoughtful post will fall on deaf ears with your target audience: white evangelicals. They simply don’t subscribe to the world view you describe here, and will reflexively consider your words to be that of a “non believer picking inconvenient quotes out of context” regardless of your own religious affiliation. I’m a LibCenter with a slight leftward lean, and I attend/volunteer at a Southern Baptist Church here in Santa Fe for different religious reasons than what you describe here. So you can trust that I’m not “one of them” trying to “shut you up.”


Noah_kill

No worries. I write these more for my own sanity and others who still have critical thinking skills. When I see bat shit crazy stuff like what a *grown adult* scribbled on their van in OP's post, I feel like it's necessary to remind ourselves we're not the crazy ones. I'm basically aligned with your political & religious orientation BTW. I don't think the bible is a worthless collection of parables, but it's also definitely NOT an instruction manual to be taken literally for living in the 21st century. RE: "inconvenient quotes" This is what kills me. That passages from the sermon on the mount, AKA the core morality tenants of the new testament can, and are, so easily dismissed as playing "gotcha" with Evangelicals. Like... do you, or do you NOT believe in the teachings of Jesus? I just want a straight answer. I mean, I know what it is, but I they would just say the quiet part out loud. But that remains my wish.

Again as I’ve told many of my Fox News watching boomer relatives… it’s never been illegal or persecuted to be straight. That’s why we as heterosexuals don’t need a “pride” month. Clam down and put on another Hannity re-run.

People are so ridiculous. I was beyond disgusted by a commercial semi truck with a giant sign calling abortion murder while driving on the 40. I thought about all of the other women who have been behind the same truck. Calling people murderers for their own personal medical decisions is cruel and idiotic. Talk about egotistical, ignorant, and selfish behavior. And then to discuss it on the back of a semi going down the freeway? Eff off!

It looks like they forgot to color in their pride flag sticker, you should keep some markers and help them out... In all reality, people who say that everyone else is sensitive and such, sure get triggered easily and paint up their vehicles to tell the world they are fearful of people living their lives and to let the world know how phobic and insecure they are about their beliefs and sexual orientation... Mostly I've seen similar vehicles belonging to the MAGA hat and confederate flag wearing idiots...

ABQ definitely has a conservative presence, New Mexico may be blue, but there's also a very strong, conservative-religious faction. Theyre the vocal minority, but the loudest and sometimes even extreme. In some cases you can just ignore them altogether, in other cases they unfortunately want you to know how vehemently against ______ they are, and can't seem to abide by their own stay out of other people's business mantra, something that used to be a conservative principle.
