I am beyond pissed!

This is a hard situation. My father and my stepmom have on the surface been very gracious to me and my partner of 20 years. They actually helped us get financing for our home and have been nothing but wonderful on the surface to us. But they are republicans. this week I learned that they joined a conservative Anglican church. You know, the one that supported the "kill the gays" bill. Ugh!
Anyhoo, after the law was passed in Indiana where they live part-time, I texted them my disgust that they could vote for and actively support these people. I also texted them that I was very hurt that they chose a church that would support a "kill the gays" bill.

Needless to say, they took offense at this. My stepmom actually called my "not wife" Kat and told her she thought I needed "help". Well, Kat is on the same page as I am! She is disgusted too. My one sister is in agreement with me. She is a wonderful liberal. I texted back to my stepmom that she should just stop calling our house. I told her that SHE was the one that needed help. That to continue voting republican was sick! So, i am ok with this. People need to know that their actions have consequences!
