Maybe he meant the TV or whatever would cause damage to the circuits and what not.

Since everyone else seem to gloss over this and not provide some useful advice, I thought I would step in.

You have two options:
1) Come out to them and face a holiday full of hateful feelings, emotional confrontations, and a spoiled dinner. Plus the memory of this event will stick with you for every Thanksgiving to come.
2) Grin and bear, smile and nod, bite your lip. It's one day of your life, you'll get through it. Eat enough turkey to let the tryptophan coma take over, pass out on the couch and the time will go by faster.

I'm all for being upfront and honest with the people that are important in your life, but I have to assume if the first thing you think about when you talk about this particular part of your extended family is that they are "anti-gay" they probably aren't a huge influence in your life. And there's nothing wrong with that - family/friends are different for different people. Just focus on the people truly important in your life, they're the ones worth the effort.

Yes, we will leave some, and yes, we are moving, to who-knows-where unless my mom's sexy boyfriend (just kidding! or am i?))moves in...

But yes the sound cable from the AV was not plugged in well, Sora had a fail. Sorry for wasting your time...

I've been wondering why do all the movies on youtube suck? Right here's what I need help with, I need some suggestions for movies, good movies, like V for Vendetta, Punch-drunk Love, Crank, Seven Pounds, Resevoir Dogs, I'm not into cheezy stuff such as the Rodney Dangerfield movies, but I do enjoy Monty Python a lot. I need a movie list!

And when you're at it, could you make a list of some good reggae artists?
I'm also looking for some good Trance DJs, if anybody knows any.
