“We’re on the wrong side of the threshold. Our sub can’t surface again. We’re doomed.”
“We’ll have to resort to cannibalism. Let’s draw lots.”
“I’m afraid we’ll run out of air long before we starve.”
“We’d better hurry then. Lots. Now!”

My grandfather (on the right) hated my dad, his own son, because he knew my dad was queer. This is the only photo we have of the two of them together. My grandfather hit my dad every chance he got. Tell me again about the rights of parents. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️💜🩷 #pride #queer
