Throughout all of this, I never thought about the potential for my family members to also deconstruct/leave fundamentalist christianity, even if they remained a more progressive christian in the end
#I came out to my dad this weekend and he took it like#scarily well#specifically as trans. I'm still figuring out sexuality and also he doesn't need to know all that lol#this man used to punish me for *not* wanting to spend his money on clothes and hair styling#he pulled up his bible app on his ipad and told me my deceased mother would be disappointed when I tried to come out nearly 10 years ago#and we didn't really talk about it after that until now#He's still a christian but he hasn't gone to our church since the pandemic started since we moved houses#then I left for college#so he didn't really have a reason to travel 45 mins to keep going to that specific church#his father still does though and is as extreme as he always was#if not more since he sees more/is getting sick so he's holding onto religion more#We lived with his father for a few years and I think we both started to see how extreme that life was there#cause that's also where I started deconstructing#I don't think he's ever going to leave christianity completely like I did#and I'm willing to pretend to be one for him#but he's significantly calmer now#and said he honestly just wants me to be able to survive and be happy even after he's gone#he even knew when pride month was and helps decorate at work#though that's not really by choice since it's a part of his job#but yea I came out to him as trans and he's okay with it. he just wants me to be happy. we aren't gonna tell his father tho#or his mother for that matter though she has the gentler calm nature that my dad inherited#it's been a journey seeing him reconcile with that from my end since it was usually something with me that made him rethink things#he's at a point where he cares much more about seeing me happy than being 100% perfect for Jesus. He doesn't need to be perfect either#I'm still processing all of it ngl. He even accepted the little resource bag I made for him#n e ways thanks for reading my little ramble about coming out and seeing my dad leave fundamentalism for a gentler christianity#that makes both of us happier both now and in the long run#I never really considered the possibility of that happening#next step: coming out to my mom's side of the family. tho I might just let them figure it out like the rest of my dad's side

Bohemian Rhapsody - review
We went to a movie today and this movie so happened to be Bohemian Rhapsody. I actually wanted to see this film since it came out, but never had a chance. We planned going with my friend, but she went with another friend. They liked it so much they were okay with going to see it again and because of this reason we all went to see it.
We were so surprised about one thing - there were ony like 4 tickets left when it was like 45 mins till beginning so we sat in the first row, which was super weird and I didn't liked it. Too close, I could focus on the whole screen. But hey, at least I finally had enough of leg space!
Movie itself was amazing. Since I wasn't a fan of Queen, I didn't knew the story, but I was aware of most popular songs which are amazing, totally.
Few scenes stuck the most. First was the one I accidentally spoiled which was how Freddie came out to Mary and how she just denied the fact, just assumed he's gay. I don't know why have this stood out but it did and well, I felt that for some reason
Second was when the Queen were having an interview and all the journalists only cared about Freddie's sexuality and his personal life. Other members and the album was left behind, like no one didn't cared about their existence. Which happens way too often today. How it can drive the artist insane. Being a fan of so many great artists, I always have a fear when they might snap and when it all become too much. And one journalist said "you can't hide your personal life, you're a public figure" or something in between those lines. I might have shred a tear, or few.
Cinematography was amazing, made me travel sick few times, but it was still really good, soundtrack - amazing, I mean, what can you expect, it's Queen. There were many moments where I've got goosebumps and my foot started tapping unintentionally.
Freddie Mercury was a great man, inspiration for many of us. And this movie made like a tribute to him, got younger audience, who didn't really knew much about him and Queen, to feel and hear their story. Being a part of this audience, I really respect that. They are legends and projects like that keeps them alive
