I just wanted some gelato…

Today my (24f) dad (50) confronted me in the middle of a gelato shop about me dodging him and my moms attempts to ask about my “love life” and literally set me up with an Indian man so I basically was forced to tell him that I’m not attracted to men (I tried to play off as ace instead of as a lesbian because that would be way worse) and my dad’s legit response was “that’s not in our family’s generational genes”. He also said that if I ended up alone my parents would really have nothing to be happy/proud for me for because I’d have no family or kids and therefore my life would be meaningless because I’d just be earning less than 100k a year to research dumb shit about the universe. So basically the only way for me to make my father happy (and he legit told me to my face that if I was gay he just would not support me and it would ruin my family forever), I have to marry a South Indian Hindu man that they pick out for me preferably in the next few years so my eggs don’t shrivel up because WOMEN MAKE BABIES.

So how’s your day going??? 🥲
