I don’t read in here much anymore since I stopped collecting miles but I’m glad I did today. Jaqueline, you are a class act and handled yourself beautifully. Bravo!We made it to the other side of the massive family gathering and I'm proud of how I handled myself. I took the high road most of the day, refusing to stoop to the levels of the most hurtful people & I had a few people try to read the one pin and get more than a little flustered. I only spoke out once when directly asked why I've not be present at previous family gatherings. It was one of our daughter's cousins who refused to attend her wedding, I looked him straight in the eyes and said "I drew a line in the sand and too many people refused to join us on this side of it." I touched my pin and calmly said " I will always support my children, they are the most important people in my life" He asked why I chose to attend this gathering & I pointed at my husband and said "I feel strongly about supporting your uncle as well and because of that I will stand by his side. This is an important day for grandpa and I can show my respect even if I don't agree with everything he has done to my family"
When the peopling became too overwhelming I went and hid under a tree while nibbling on safe snacks since I have too many food allergies to eat real food. I stayed out there until Arthur & his parents arrived.

I know I could take the time to search this thread and see if I posted a picture of the pins I wore but I'm both lazy AND exhausted!
SO many of the family members and the friends/people who just want free cake do NOT approve of anyone included in the fabulous 2SLGBTQ+ family and I'm sure this will make a few people a tad uncomfortable when they get close enough to read the words! The orange heart with the hand and feather is part of the Orange Shirt project in Canada because our daughter-in-law and grandson both have registered status and my inlaws don't approve of THAT either <sigh> As I keep saying "Don't F with my kids, ANY of them!"
