Dear Intimacy Dr

Dear Intimacy Dr,

The holidays are coming up and my mom is asking me to “keep the peace” with all the older family members. They are high-key racist, transphobic, and homophobic and will rail on endlessly. The rest of my family say it’s stressful enough, and not to respond. Do I need to stay silent for civility’s sake?

Queer and Tired


Dear Queer and Tired,

Fuck no.

Sincerely,
Dr. Faith
