I'm going on what can loosely be termed a "vacation" this summer to visit my husband's family, a few of whom have thus far proven to be complete backwoods rednecks. I'm one of those "queer liberal commies" that these people so despise. So, mamas, because I'm not what you might call tactful and because I have self-segregated myself to exclude prejudicial people in my social network, I seek your opinions. If you were hanging out in an otherwise innocuous situation and someone started in with racists or otherwise prejudicial language, how would you handle it? Keep in mind my eight year old and almost one year old will be present.
