But it is true that when you choose a job for yourself, your mom and dad may not like it. It may not be what they pictured for you. They have a lot of time and money invested in you, and they also probably love and care for you. They may not understand at first why you might want to be a gay owner of a gay restaurant, or a gay pawnshop jeweler/waiter. They may not understand that, in fact, you have no choice about these things. But your life is your house, and sometimes you have to kick them out of it.
