microaggressions:

When I was over at my friend’s house, her mother called my friend out of the room for a chat. When my friend returned, she asked my girlfriend and I to not sit next to each other because it made her mother uncomfortable, and then returned to cuddling in her boyfriend’s lap

An entire room of people I considered close friends heard her say this and no one said a word. I made a half-hearted attempt to say, “but that’s ridiculous,” and still everyone stared silently at the floor.

BUT THAT’S RIDICULOUS.

If my mother pulled that shit, the house would be empty (including me) in under 2 minutes. I’m a mom now and my house is open to everyone except bigots.
