And this is why we need to push back on the "excuse old people for bigotry" line. They don't need to be. The world is better when they're actually good people, no matter how old.

2/2 to knoabout gay people in 1940s onwards etc. he just shrugged and said \u201che was a nice man\u201d no judgment, no assumptions,\u201d my dad was amazing and the kindest non judgemental man I ever met. This story is about you but I wanted to share a little of my dad x hope you don\u2019t mind.

I remember my Irish gran calling me when the vote for same sex marriage was taken in Ireland. "Ye have won the vote" she said. I asked if she had voted, and got "of course I fekkin voted for it, why wouldn't I". \nShe is now 90 years old and going strong.

How completely wonderful. I am sure you are feeling blessed. Brought a tear to my eye. Grandparents are very wise people , so I have found.

They sound so lovely. My Dad was 93 when a close very young relative came out as trans. He was totally accepting, and far better than most of us at remembering the new pro-nouns and name. I was so impressed and tried much harder myself to get it right because of his example.

How lovely! Y'know us grandparents figure things out before you think we do! And there's no barrier whatsoever to our love, support and pride for ... all our grandchildren .
