We need a time machine amendment to this poll, a the moment the results are very NOT SCIENCE!

I saw the transcript of the Williams Jr. thing but hadn't heard the clip until this show. He sounds like Mr. Garrison with a twang! Made me laugh every time he spoke.

My favorite part is the end:

"OBAMA! And Biden. The Three Stooges."

"That's only two."

Is anybody else angry listening to Chemda being so considerate of her mother, when it seems like her parents are never considerate of her?

i understand it. its not easy to just say "fuck 'em".

Beautiful, Chemda. very proud moment.

PS: and lauren questioning if she shouldve tweeted ti, got a chuckle out of me

I was so moved by Chemda's mom story I found myself crying happy tears. I too came out to my ethnic mom a hundred years ago in a therapy session that took the better part of an hour, staring at the floor in shame, and gallons of tears to mouth the words, I'm gay. I wish Chemda much strength on the visit and the process over the next bit. Thanks for sharing the experience with us.

i fucking love Chemda. So great to hear that she had the opportunity to share w/ her mom where she's at.
When you love someone, I think all that matters, ( if the love is TRUELY reciprocal) is that the person is happy and doing well. Especially as a parent.
Big up s to Chemda for sharing her life experiences and to Lauren for being supportive.
Jesus fuck. What a loving tale. I wept.
Cheers.
Goddamn it. I love this show!

I always thought it was weird that if you are ethnic, your parents' beliefs are called traditional. But if you are white and your parents believe the same kinds of things, its called racism and bigotry.

P.S. I'm not traditional, racist, or a bigot.

^This.

Not necessarily the same, but when my Dad and uncle were like " Y U NEED TO GO TO COLLEGE, WHO DO U THINK U R ANYWAY?!1" I was like, "eat dicks, messican family members." And now when they ask me for money, I tell them the same thing. HAHAHAHA.

I still love my Dad (not so much my jerk uncle), but I still got pissed at him for being so dismissive of me.

I think you can have a good family that just happens to be bigots. Being kind to your children and being a good person are sometimes mutually exclusive.
