Homophobic

[okeydonkey]

My FIL was saying today that gay people were unnatural and that they should quietly get on with it. They shouldn't raise children.
AIBU to feel really awful about this? I sat there quietly. Do I let this slide if he brings it up again, or do I tell him he's awful and I hope he doesn't teach my DC this when they are old enough to understand

I'd say "really? do you actually know any gay people or gay parents? The gay people I know are very normal, and every single study on the subject has shown that gay parents are just as capable of doing the job as straight people."

I am a gay parent myself and rather than finding views like this upsetting I actually feel a bit sorry for people who hold them. They are generally to do with being ignorant and not actually knowing (or thinking they know) anyone who is gay.
