A grandmother trended on Twitter after she gave the perfect response to shut down her son who was complaining about LGBTQ+ people.
Twitter user Minovsky told of how his dad ranted about how LGBTQIA+ identities were getting too confusing to keep up with. But his dad's mother was present and responded to his whining in a way that has made Twitter users hail her.
Minovsky said his grandma told his father: "The way things are now is better than when people had to hide away or killed themselves because nobody understood who they were. Respect costs you nothing."
Some Twitter users hailed his grandma, some accused him of making it up, but he replied that his grandma is sympathetic towards the cause of the LGBTQ community because she has grandkids who identify as transsexual and bisexual.
He wrote: "To the ‘I guess woke grandmas are a thing we’re making up now’ quote tweeters. I wouldn’t describe my grandma as ‘woke,’ but she’s got bi and trans grandkids, and has been open-minded and willing to learn if it means her family is happy. That’s all any of us can really ask for."
