Week 6 response to Johanna

When you ask will there ever come a time when your friends parents will accept her I honestly think that they are too ingrained with their beliefs to change. But, I do believe that overall we are becoming more tolerant (even if its just to a small degree) and that will initiate change and acceptance. Its just that it will not happen soon. I think a few generations need to go by before we see anything significant. I mean in California they are allowing gay marriage...thats a first step. But there are still many to go.
I think your friend will need to learn to deal with her parents rejection and accept them for who they are while she continues to accept who she is.
