And I'm with you on the first impressions thing. With my uncles, the 6'4 bulky guy is the one who'd be jumping up and down and screaming. My skinny, 5'8 uncle is the quiet, reserved one.
"Are you fucking kidding me!?" Grandpa for the win!
yeah, we all lean one way or the other, but locking yourself into hyper specific roles, is so 1982.
And, we've all known/encountered more than one 'nancy boy' who turns out to be a power top...
And everyone knows grandparents don't fuck anymore so the whole top/bottom discussion is moot.
Too bad the Gay opt out of life's most rewarding relationship.
As for grandparenting, I think Miss Brodie said it best. For those who like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing they like. More power to them for the most part.
and on the other hand looking for who's the top and who's the bottom in a gay relationship just because you think there must be one of each. Not everyone has to be gender queer or a switch, but if you assume that people come in binaries (top/bottom, male/female, dom/sub, extrovert/introvert), then you push people to be more like whatever side of the binary you think they are. I act like a woman because my life's easier that way, conforming to people's expectations, but I sometimes wish there weren't any expectations around gender at all. Just a lot of options from which to choose.
And second the hot Grandpas comments above.
And third the silly grinnings.
They can tell him he's going to be a grandfather at Christmas, again, and still get this kind of response, again.
Peace.
[I act like a woman because my life's easier that way, conforming to people's expectations, but I sometimes wish there weren't any expectations around gender at all. Just a lot of options from which to choose.]
I've always acted as if people's expectations in that regard were irrelevant - or, often more accurately, as if I hadn't even received a copy of the handbook, which may be closest to the truth. I wouldn't do anything differently, but I think the grass is just as green on your side. But maybe you'd have to see it for yourself to decide if you agreed or not.
What a shock (NOT) to see that our resident pest-troll (aka SB, not the frantic fruit-fly that's been buzzing around for the last few days) has not made a single comment here. How can that be? He keeps talking about behaviour and its "consequences". ::mock sighs::
I guess these particular consequences involving two gay dads, their now-adult child and the announcement that they're going to be grandpas are simply too horrible for SB to envision. To even think that these two men loved their child and are thrilled that they're going to be full participants in the next generation of their expanding family unit must be an illogical paradox of old-Trek proportions.
