Background: I visited Zema's house yesterday, and they drove me home. We hung out in my room a while afterwards before they left.
This morning:
Dad: "So, is he your boyfriend?"
Me: "... No. They're not even into women. They're asexual." (I'm closeted in all shapes and forms.)
Dad (thinking I was talking about myself?): *turns away* "That's bullshit. You like girls?"
Me: "No..? I said zema, and not into women."
Dad: "That's f-ing weird. Why're you mixing with him them?"
Me: ??????????????????????????????????????????????????
-5 minutes later, me in the other room with my cat trying to eat my hair-
*dad walks over to me*
Dad: "So what's this... Asexual?"
Me: "It means... You're not interested in anyone... In that way..." *awkwardly, kind of put on the spot*
Dad: "Bullshit."
Me: "What do you mean?"
Dad: "I've never heard of that. That's bullshit." (he really seems to like the world bullshit)
Me: "People can be attracted to the same gender, opposite, or both-" (my parents are too closed-minded to think there's more than 2 genders, I have to go along with it while I'm with them) "-, so why not none?"
Dad: "Whatever. I've never heard of it." *mutters some more*
Unless he's completely stupid, he's going to put 2 and 2 together and figure out that I'm asexual as well. Or at least 'think' I am, in his opinion.
